Compression Latches

Compression latches are a type of fastening mechanism commonly used in various applications where secure sealing and vibration resistance are essential. These latches operate by turning a handle or a key, which activates a cam behind the panel. This action pulls the door or panel tightly against a seal or frame, compressing it. This compression creates a secure closure, ensuring that the door or panel is not only latched shut but also sealed against environmental factors like dust, water, and air, which is particularly important in outdoor or industrial settings. The compression also helps in absorbing and reducing vibrations, making these latches ideal for use in vehicles, heavy machinery, electronic enclosures, and HVAC systems. Their ability to maintain a seal under different conditions while providing easy access for maintenance or operation makes them a versatile and reliable choice in many industries.
