2-Way Rod Latches

Again, a design which is an industry-standard for securing large doors requiring latching on two edges. This is a ‘deadbolt’ system with 10 mm diameter rods driven by centre bush, and held extended by action of a strong spring. Right-hand and left-hand models are available, with many special options.
