• Important Features of the Type 3 Latches •
• Type 3 Latches are Strong, Reliable, and Tremendously Versatile •
• Variable ‘Setbacks’* accommodate a wide range of applications
• Numerous special Receivers available, compatible with Type 3 Latches
• 2 Spring Hook Sizes can be used in Type 3 Latch Cases
• Type 3 Latches are spring loaded to hold components tight.
• Very shallow Receivers are stocked for blind joints in thin material
• Spring hook compensates for material movement and fabrication tolerances
• Latch/Receiver combinations facilitate inverting adjacent panels
The side flange load distribution permits the use of light framing, typically 3/4"/19mm pine; this, coupled with the selection of
‘Setbacks’* available, facilitates fabrication without ‘blocking-up’ or ‘padding’.
- Latch installation or removal is simply and quickly accomplished -
* The ‘Setback’ is the location of the key access hole from the mounting flange face of the Latch case,
or of the Receiver pin from the mounting flange face of the Receiver case.
