The E3 VISE ACTION® Compression Latch from Southco is designed to provide a secure and vibration-resistant closure for doors and panels. It features a mechanical advantage that ensures consistent compression to seal out water and dust, making it suitable for various environmental conditions. The latch operates with a simple half-turn motion, aligning the cam behind the frame and pulling the door tight against it. This product is available in both fixed and adjustable grip options, accommodating different door and panel thicknesses. The materials used include zinc, stainless steel, and aluminum, with various finishes such as powder coating and chrome plating. It complies with several standards, including NEMA 4 and IP65/69K, ensuring durability and reliability in demanding applications. The latch also offers multiple access options, including tool-operated and key locking styles, enhancing security and deterring unauthorized access.
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.
