E3-57-52, VISE ACTION Compression Latches, Southco

Southco’s VISE ACTION Compression latches provide mechanical advantage, ensuring tight, robust vibration resistant door closure to seal out water and dust in the most strenuous applications. The smooth operation of the VISE ACTION design aligns the cam behind the frame, then draws it straight up tight to prevent scraping against the frame, with a single continuous half-turn motion. Its compression action provides consistent 6.4 mm (.25”) pull-up for environmental sealing in gasketed applications, and helps reduce or eliminate noise and rattles caused by vibration. Over-center latching resists accidental opening due to shock or vibration.
