A latch (12) intended for assembling a removable panel (18) to a structure (14), notably that of an aircraft, includes a bracket (30) fixed to the panel; a keeper (32) and a push button (34) hinged to the bracket; a torsion spring (40) comprising two arms respectively in abutment on the keeper and the push button. The latch is movable between a closed configuration, in which the keeper is in contact with the push button, and an open configuration, in which the keeper is spaced apart from the push button. The latch further includes a roller (42) rotatably supported on an arm (86) of the spring; and the keeper includes a profile (58) on which the roller moves when the latch is moved between the closed and open configurations.
