Disclosed is an extractor for an airplane galley storage container. The extractor may include a rigid frame with a grip on a first end portion connected to an extractor arm on an opposite, second end portion of the rigid frame. When the grip is pulled, the extractor arm moves correspondingly proximally from its position on the opposite end of the rigid frame. When the grip is released, at least one constant force spring, stored in a spring housing on or near a distal end of a rigid frame of the extractor, biases the extractor arm and grip distally to a rest position.
