Slam Latches

Slam latches, also known as push-to-close latches, are a type of fastening mechanism designed for easy and secure closure of doors, panels, or lids with a simple pushing or slamming motion. These latches operate on a basic principle: when the door or panel is pushed closed, a spring-loaded latch bolt automatically engages with a strike or catch, securing the door without the need for turning a handle or key. This makes them particularly useful in applications where quick or hands-free closure is desired, such as in industrial machinery, storage compartments in vehicles, or certain types of cabinetry. The design of slam latches varies to suit different applications, ranging from simple mechanical models to more sophisticated versions with safety features or electronic locking systems. Their ease of use, reliability, and the ability to secure doors firmly make them a popular choice in various settings where efficiency and security are priorities.
