3-Way Rod Latches

A heavy-duty design which provides 3-point latching with an exceptional amount of ‘throw’. 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 options.
