Compression latches provide secure closure
Emka's 1000 range of compression latches handle vibration-prone applications using an adjustable clamp action.
The basic toggle latch is a rigid type for situations where a solid hold is required, for example on pipework insulation.
Where a soft close is needed then spring versions give controlled pull up against gaskets or maintain closure under shock and vibration conditions.
Variants in the Emka programme include high strength 90-degree components to work around corners, as well as quarter-turn toggle latches which fold flat after operation.
These quarter-turn items and conventional low profile types are ideal where space is at a premium, for example on aircraft transit cases.
Where variation in the closure is called for, then the 6008 series can adjust from 0-10mm to accommodate.
Most latches in the range are available as padlockable types, and for custom configuration it is possible to mix latch bodies with strike plates to give longer or shorter items to suit particular cabinets or boxes. Request a free brochure from Emka UK ...
