2/3-Way Slam Systems

These versatile systems are assembled on site from standard end-latches, together with centre case (opposite) and connecting bars. The three slam bolts act together and are withdrawn simultaneously.

Left and right-hand versions are identical apart from position of centre bolt and direction of rotation of centre follow-bush. 2-way versions do not have centre slam-bolt.
