Toggle Latch Fasteners
Toggle Latch fasteners are commonly used on enclosures, transport cases and safety guards. Options include; a Solid Latch, Spring Latch, Return Spring Latch, Safety Release Catches, Adjustable Latches and Lockable Toggle Latch fasteners. Optional Toggle Catch Plates are also available. Mild steel zinc plated and stainless steel Toggle Latches are available in a selection of sizes.
Toggle latches and fasteners utilise an over-center action mechanism. When set to its closed or "over-center" position, the latch becomes more secure as external forces are applied, making inadvertent opening less likely. Essentially, the design ensures that any force attempting to open the latch inadvertently amplifies the latch's holding tension. This principle allows the toggle latch to effectively maintain a tight closure and secure the objects it's fastening together.
