These latches do not just close doors; they open a world of possibilities with a solid feel and push-to-close convenience that marries form with function.

 

Simple Installation and Versatile Fit

Installing SouthCo’s latches is a breeze with front panel access through a single round hole, secured from the rear with a mounting bracket and hardware. When installed, the latches fit flush to the panel, offering a sleek appearance with minimal intrusion inside the cabinet.

This design ensures a tight grip on the keeper thanks to a slightly angled pawl. Additionally, the spring-loaded handles prevent any rattling. For added convenience, larger models allow for inside actuation. The latches are available in corrosion-resistant polycarbonate and stainless steel, guaranteeing long-lasting performance, and minimized chance of corrosion. With multiple sizes, these latches can accommodate a variety of enclosure sizes and panel thicknesses to meet dynamic and varying needs.
