Steel ‘Paddles’ Hook-Latch Models

This unique design replaces the conventional slam-bolt with a spring-loaded stainless steel ‘hook‘ that projects vertically from the back of the paddle case. This gives a much smoother action - doors close easily with gentle push, and do not ‘bounce back’. A striker (in stainless steel) ensures positive engagement which resists vibration.

As door closes, the ramped face of the hook meets striker and is forced laterally (E). Once closed the spring action secures hook under striker loop.
This model normally has ‘deadbolt’ action. When key cylinder is locked, both flap and hook are held rigid. Paddles therefore will not slam in locked condition.
Stainless models have pierced rim as shown, with moulded gasket. Mild steel models normally have plain rim (for welded-on mounting).
‘FS’ keys as standard with shuttered keyway. Optionally ‘FT’, ‘92’ or ‘DLP’, key types. Non-locking models available.
Polished stainless steel or mild steel, clear zinc-plated. Optionally, black powder-coated finish.
With stainless models, case & flap in Grade 304, all other components made in CR4, zinc plated. ‘Hook” is in stainless steel as standard.
