Overview
This economical class of self-adjusting compression latches provides a simple, fast method to secure panels with a partial turn. The spring-cam pawl compensates for wide variations in grip range, panel fit and build tolerances. Designed for industrial panel and access applications where precise compression force is not critical. Southco part variants cover multiple sizes, head styles and finishes.
