Durable construction, simple mechanical action, and consistent pull-up compression provide snug closure for heavy-duty applications in off-highway equipment or industrial equipment. The T-handle provides an ample handhold for end users wearing bulky work gloves, yet folds down for minimal protrusion.

Product Features and Benefits
From its solid stainless steel shaft to its easy-to-grip T-handle, this rugged latch is designed to operate reliably in heavier duty applications. Its intuitive lever-action mechanism generates sufficient compression to hold doors snug and rattle-free, despite the vibration of heavy diesel engines or the shocks of rough terrain.

Multiple pawl options and adjustments accommodate a broad range of relative door-to-frame dimensions
Fits door panels from 1.5 mm to 2.5 mm thick (T-handle no cup version) and up to 12.7 mm thick (recessed cup version)
