This robust and versatile panel latch series offers strong fastening and quick access to gasketed doors and panels, and is sealed for NEMA 4/IP 66 applications.

This new key-locking quad panel latch is designed for interior and exterior hinged doors or lift-off access panels that must be securely latched to a frame, have a minimal compression load, and require key-lockable security. It is designed for applications in a variety of industries, including enclosures, CEMs, telecommunications equipment, switch gear, industrial machinery, HVAC/R equipment, RVs, rail equipment, kiosks, and off-highway equipment.

The key-locking quad panel latch features an internal O-ring and an external sealing washer for NEMA 4/IP 66 applications.
