Compression latch N2

key lockstainless steelT-Handle

Overview
Durable construction and a simple lift-and-turn lever action deliver consistent 6 mm pull-up compression for secure, rattle-free closure in heavy-duty off-highway and industrial applications. The fold-down T-handle provides a generous grip for gloved operators while minimizing external protrusion when stowed. Stainless steel variants increase corrosion resistance and load capacity.

Features and Benefits

• Solid shaft construction and ergonomic fold-down T-handle designed for reliable operation under heavy loads and harsh environments.
• Lever-action mechanism produces consistent pull-up compression to maintain tight seals despite vibration and shock.
• Available in multiple sizes to match door dimensions and provide appropriate grip and compression.
• Typical pull-up compression: 6 mm (0.24") to dampen vibration and reduce noise.
• Multiple pawl types and adjustments accommodate a wide range of door-to-frame geometries.
• N2 with standard cup uses the same panel preparation as Southco N4 for straightforward drop-in replacement.

Available Options

• Recessed cup options that keep the folded handle flush or below the door surface.
• Locking and non-locking styles; configurable keycodes available.
• Stainless steel construction for enhanced corrosion resistance and higher working loads.
• Straight, offset and deep-offset pawls to cover grip ranges from 2.5 to 104 mm (0.10" to 4.10").
• Medium and large cup sizes and M16 shaft available on request for heavier-duty requirements.

Standards and Performance

• Maximum working load (powder-coated versions): 1000 N (225 lbs).
• Maximum working load (stainless steel versions): 1800 N (405 lbs).
• Panel thickness accommodation: 1.5–2.5 mm (T-handle no cup); up to 12.7 mm with recessed cup.
