• a door hingedly mounted to one of said walls opposite said one edge having said latch openings and selectively movable into and out of said opening, and substantially closing said opening when in a closed position;
• a latch mechanism mounted to said door and operable to selectively lock said door against opening movement when said door is in said closed position, said latch mechanism including a plurality of latches pivotally mounted to said door and operably connected to one another with a link operable to effect simultaneous movement of said latches, each said latch being movable into and out of a respective said latch opening, at least one of said latches having a hook on a distal end thereof to engage an interior surface of the frame adjacent its respective said latch opening, providing multi axis resistance to opening movement of said door and said frame relative to one another;
