To keep your environments free of contaminants, the magnet is encapsulated so it won't release particles when it meets the strike plate. Magnetic force holds doors closed.

On latches with a pivoting strike plate, the strike plate moves for better contact with the magnetic latch.

Note: Maximum pull-strength rating given is based on installation with the furnished strike plate; pull strength may be different based on the application.

Made to NSF/ANSI standards, this latch has a completely sealed magnet to eliminate crevices that can trap food particles. Magnetic force holds doors closed.

These latches withstand temperatures up to 480° or 570° F. They have a magnetic force that holds doors closed.

Doors stay closed with the pressure of rollers against the strike plate.

Styles 3-6 latches have a projection adjustment screw to adjust the roller projection from 0" to 3/8" to compensate for misalignment.

When not in use, push the knob in so it's flush and out of the way; it pops out with a touch. Latches open with a turn of the knob and can be secured with the knob in or out.

When released, the spring-loaded ring handle returns to its recessed position to stay out of the way. These latches open from the inside as well as the outside. From the outside, pull the recessed ring to unlatch. From the inside, slide the release tab on the back of the latch.

Mount these padlockable latches horizontally to the face of doors on refrigerators, ovens, and industrial enclosures with the strike plate mounted on the frame. Latches have an adjustable strike plate to compensate for changes in offset caused by sagging doors and worn or flattened gaskets. Door offset is the space between the door face and the frame when the door is closed.

An emergency release handle offers a means of escape if a door closes with someone inside an enclosure. Mount these padlockable latches horizontally to the face of doors on refrigerators, ovens, and industrial enclosures with the strike plate mounted on the frame.

Operate latches around corners and other obstructions—a flexible cable connects the latch to the handle, lever, or push button. Maximum cumulative bend is the combination of individual bend angles the cable can withstand.

Zinc-plated steel latches are mildly corrosion resistant.

Black zinc-plated brass latches have good corrosion resistance, so they’re often used in marine environments.

Pull on T-handle or lever releases to retract the spring-loaded latch bolt.

Also known as rotary latches, these compensate for door misalignment when closing and then firmly grip the strike bolt for a secure hold.

In addition to sliding gates, this lock is for use on cantilever and fixed-roller gates. With a key-locking mechanism, it provides more security than other gate locks. Choose this lock if you need locks that each open with a different key.

Push to close and pull up on the latch arm to open these padlockable latches. They are self-latching, meaning that a catch grabs and holds the strike plate to keep doors shut. All of these latches are reversible for left or right-hand mounting. The arm has a hole to add a pull cord or chain.

Fasten surface-mounted latches to the front of the gate and post, so the two pieces are parallel. Latches with 90° bolt are for gates that overlap the post when closed. Latches with straight bolt are for gates that close flush with the post.

Mount latches with a fixed bolt directly to the gate. These latches are quick to install and require less mounting space than adjustable-bolt latches, but are difficult to adjust once installed. Latches with an adjustable bolt have multiple mounting holes for the bolt, so you can change its alignment without moving the whole latch. Adjustable latches with a button are the easiest to adjust—depress a button to move the bolt instead of unscrewing it from the mounting plate.

The smooth finish on powder-coated steel latches protects the underlying steel from rust in wet environments. If the coating is chipped or scratched, the steel will rust.

Stainless steel latches are the most corrosion-resistant, and will hold up to water and chemicals.

Attach pull cords to a hole on the arm to open an unlocked gate from either side of the fence.
