Southco Releases New Heavy-Duty Latches
Southco recently released a new heavy-duty 37 Lever Assist Latch. Designed to accommodate misalignment of heavier doors and panels, the newest 37 Lever Assist Latch provides tight latch grip and additional clamping force in challenging operating conditions, according to the company.
Southco’s 37 Lever Assist Latch series features a substantial handgrip area that allows the latch to engage in challenging field conditions. Constructed of corrosion-resistant, flexible rubber, 37 latches absorb and reduce vibration and will remain closed even when the application flexes or moves, according to the company.
“Southco’s 37 Draw Latch series allows heavy panels to be latched securely, even when there are large variations in alignment and tolerance,” said Jim Grady, global product manager at Southco. “With its rubber body construction, the 37 Draw Latch series eliminates vibration and noise, and prevents common paint or finish damage that may be caused by metal-on-metal contact.”
