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 latch is available in both fixed and adjustable grip options, accommodating different door thicknesses up to 18 mm when using an optional flange gasket. It is constructed from materials such as zinc, stainless steel, and aluminum, with various finishes including powder coating and chrome plating. The product complies with several standards, including NEMA 4 and IP65/69K, ensuring its reliability in demanding applications. Access options include tool-operated, key locking, and padlockable styles, providing flexibility in security measures. The E3 VISE ACTION® Compression Latch is user-friendly, featuring easy-to-grip knobs and handles for quick access. Its customizable design allows for a variety of shapes and sizes to meet specific project requirements.
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.
