Paddle Latches
Paddle latches, commonly found in industrial and automotive applications, are a type of latch mechanism characterized by their paddle-shaped handle that facilitates easy opening and closing. These latches typically consist of a flat, wide paddle handle that, when pulled or lifted, activates a latch mechanism to release or secure a door, panel, or cover. The design of paddle latches allows for a comfortable grip and an intuitive motion for operation, making them user-friendly. They are often used in toolboxes, machinery guards, access panels on vehicles, and storage compartments where a secure yet easily accessible closure is needed. The simplicity of their design allows for a flush mount with the surface, providing a sleek and unobtrusive appearance. Additionally, many paddle latches come with key-locking features for added security, ensuring that the contents behind them are safe and secure.
