Here’s a quick glance at some of the Compression Latches we have to offer.  Many of these are stocked items, or have a very short lead time!  This is just a sample of the selection we have for you!  As always, if you have any questions about our products, or if you need more information, please call us or use our Contact Form and we’d be happy to help you in any way we can.

All of these latches provide a certain amount of compression when latched.  This is especially useful when your door is gasketed or when you need a certain amount of vibration resistance.  If you don’t need to compress the door, check out our section on Pawl and Cam Action Latches instead.
