Latch secures sheet metal and thermoplastic panels

Push-to-close slide latch has integrated lockplug housing that provides security without sacrificing the small size of the latch and eliminates the need for a separate key cam lock for security.

A moulded thermoplastic body, push-to-close convenience and flexible locking options make the Southco A3 slide latch an option for secure latching of sheet metal and thin thermoplastic door panels.

Its integrated lockplug housing provides added security without sacrificing the small size of the latch and eliminates the need for a separate key cam lock for security.

A one-piece design simplifies latch installation efforts.

Both the locking and non-locking versions snap into position in identical size rectangular installation holes.

Panel thicknesses range from 8 to 16mm.

A moulded-in spring-tab holds each latch in place.

The latched door opens with a slide of the spring-loaded handle.

To re-engage the latch, the user can simply push the door closed.

While the door is closed, the lock can be engaged to restrict access.

The A3 is part of Southco's One-lock System allowing the integrated lock housing to be available with more than 500 keycode options.

Keys are ordered in pairs, in the choice of a flat-key or an over-moulded key style for a more convenient grip.

Moulded icons on the lock housing show whether the lock is engaged.

A hole plug is available to provide a smooth face on non-locking style latches.

The latch's black ABS body, glass reinforced nylon lockplug and stainless-steel spring deliver corrosion-resistance in virtually any environment.

It suits enclosures in network, telecoms, computer, electronics, industrial equipment and transportation applications.
