Zusammenfassung:A latching device may include a latch, and a blocker configured to reduce the operational force used to move the latch to a latch disengaged position when an associated door is loaded with a force in a direction of egress. In some embodiments, the blocker may resist the force in the direction of egress by transferring the load the latch in a manner which reduces resultant friction generated by the latch when it is moved to the latch disengaged position. In some embodiments, the blocker may resist the force in the direction of egress by direction the force away from the latch.
