The recently expanded line of Southco E5 Industrial Series Cam Latches offers three additional choices for better user interface with a pleasing aesthetics and key-locking versatility, in the form of integrated L-handle, T-handle, and Flush Wing Knob designs. The modular E5 latch format, with multiple interchangeable cams to satisfy grip dimension requirements from 4mm to 42mm, provides cost-effective design and purchasing solutions for basic latching needs beyond traditional industrial use - such as electrical enclosures, transportation equipment, recreational vehicles, office furniture, HVAC, and vending.
The stylish L-handle and T-handle designs - available in both bright chrome and black powder coated standard finishes - deliver ample, ergonomic handholds for easy user grasp and operation. Both offer easy single hole installation secured by a single mounting nut threaded onto the back of the latch body for low installed-cost in panels from 1 to 6 mm thick. A hooked cam is also available to suit different frame configurations.
The Flush Wing Knob latch - available in a standard black powder coated finish - features an aesthetically pleasing oval faceplate with a recessed cup to hold the wing knob actuator mechanism beneath the surface level of the door panel. Built-in threaded studs enable the entire housing to mount from the back of door panels up to 3.2mm thick, leaving only the virtually flush faceplate exposed on the surface of the door.
All three of the new actuation handles provide choices of non-locking, standard key code and user-assigned key code configurations for more flexible access control management, and feature overmoulded keys for a comfortable, sure grip. All also offer adapters for optional multi-point latching to improve security and reduce rattle in applications with larger door spans.
