Southco's new push-to-close panel latch can be completely or partially
concealed and is suitable for both interior and exterior doors or panel
designs that require a clean and uncluttered outer surface. The 'Parrot'
- so-called because of its distinctive profile - has an integral silicone
dampening pad that lessens the impact of the closing surface, while an
adjustable keeper accommodates misalignment or manufacturing variances
between panel/door and frame. The Parrot is installed using two screws
for the latch and three for the keeper. A simple pull on the textured
handle of the latch frees it from the keeper, allowing the door or panel
to swing open. The device is constructed from high-density plastic and
stainless steel and is available in four handle finishes: black, brass,
bright chrome or satin chrome.
