A sealed lever latch. It has a handle with a pivot end with a non-round bore passing therethrough, a housing having a well with a narrowed end with spaced apart sidewalls with holes, the narrowed end sized to receive the pivot end of the handle. A lever carriage with two spaced apart arms straddles the sidewalls of the narrowed end of the housing and each arm has a first engagement. A drive pin unit has a first keeper, a drive pin with a non-round profile extending from the first keeper, and a second keeper that engages with a free end of the drive pin. The keepers non-rotatably engage with the first engagements of the lever carriage arms and with the drive pin non-rotatably passing through the non-round bore in the pivot end of the handle to connect the handle and the lever carriage together. Seals are placed on the drive pin unit between the first and second keeper ride adjacent to the holes in the sidewalls of the housing to prevent passage of liquid or debris therethrough.
