BIG ‘OT’ RECEIVER
& LARGE TYPE 1 LATCH
TDS 126-9C
Big ‘OT’ Receiver: BOTR-1
Material
: Steel, Zinc Plate, Clear Chromate
The Big ‘OT’ Receiver has a slanted strike
surface upon which the Latch Hook slides
when locking, imparting a downward force
on the latch. This is especially beneficial in
such applications as clamping a hurricane
panel inward against a window frame, so as
to withstand the strong winds of a hurricane.
THE BIG ‘OT’ RECEIVER ACCOMMODATES
PANELS 1/4” THRU 3/4” THICK
This downward force is also beneficial when
used to secure a door or a case closure,
particularly when a gasket is used.

The Big ‘OT’ Receiver is mounted to the face of a window frame, and is engaged by the
spring hook of a large Type 1 Latch mounted on a thick hurricane panel. The slanted Receiver
strike forces the Latch (and plywood) firmly against the window frame face, securing the panel
against hurricane-force winds. This Big ‘OT’ Receiver will accommodate panel thicknesses from
1/4” to 3/4”.
