Moulded ‘Budget’ Latch

An ingenious design that replicates the function of our ‘Universal’ budget latch, but which takes full advantage of the properties of moulded materials. It is tough, lightweight, non-magnetic, self-lubricating, and totally corrosion-resistant. A special version is supplied with 8mm steel shaft, which can be fitted to either face (9/01957). This is normally used with moulded handle, 5/01664.

  • Simple ‘deadbolt’ latch, operated by 8mm square or by slot in top & bottom faces, against ramped striker.
  • Non-handed design, with bolt able to travel 180° through case but held positively in open and closed positions by concealed spring.
  • Bolts or rivets through fixing holes in recessed areas. Use large-headed fasteners (to 12mm dia.) for security.
  • Self-colour black with attractive textured finish.
  • Moulded throughout in acetal copolymer for maximum strength/wear resistance.
  • Progressive load tests were carried out by an independent proof house, and as a comparison on steel model (3/09656).
    Moulded latches operated without distortion until loading of 0.63KN
    (70Kg). Steel latches became progressively distorted and failed at around 1.5KN (165Kg).
    Note: These latches are not recommended for applications involving impact loading.
