Tight-Hold Recessed Ring-Handle Cam Latches
Fold the ring handle into the recess to stay out of the way when not in use. It lays flat so you won’t bump into these latches or catch clothes on them. The latches project further into enclosures than other latches without a recess. To open them, pull the ring with your finger. Turn the head a quarter turn to lock, then turn it another quarter turn to create compression. The second turn also reduces rattling from vibration.
Also known as compression cam latches, these latches create a tighter hold than traditional cam latches, making them useful for doors that have a seal. A gasket helps keep low-pressure washdowns and dust from entering through the latch. This helps you maintain your sealed enclosure's IP or NEMA rating. Made of stainless steel, these latches won’t rust in areas that are constantly exposed to moisture.
All of these latches include multiple cams with an adjustable latching distance. They handle a wide range of latching distances, so they’re best for tasks when precise distances are unknown. Adjust the position of the cam before you begin to install them. The latch installation hole can be made with a round hole instead of the irregularly shaped standard cam hole. This is especially helpful if the material of the door is difficult to cut or part of an existing structure.

Unthreaded Through-Hole Recessed Folding Pull Handles with Mounting Plate
Fasten these handles directly to the front of your surface. They fit into a cutout, so they are flush with the mounting surface. Their grip drops out of the way when you let go. Use them to open and close a variety of doors and drawers on chests, crates, furniture, machines, and equipment.
Round grips allow your hand to pivot in any direction.
Oval grips conform to your hand and offer more control than round grips.
Steel handles are plated or coated for rust resistance.
Brass and chrome-plated brass handles have good corrosion resistance and are nonmagnetic.
Stainless steel handles have excellent corrosion resistance, making them the best choice for harsh environments. They also have good chemical resistance.
