Latches, Locks with Indexing Function

A snap latch is a form-fitting latching element for doors and covers. It functions similarly to typical door hardware.

The snap latch consists of a housing with a spring-loaded latching element.

Upon closing the cover or door, the wedge-shaped latching element is pressed back into the housing of the lock by the door frame or a fixed stop element. Once the closed position is reached, the latching element is moved into the locking position behind the stop or door frame by the spring. The snap latch is opened by pressing a push button. When pressed, this retracts the latching element, allowing the cover or door to be opened.

In addition to snap latch, this product group also includes snap door latches, ball catches, slam latches, stop latches and ledge handles with cam lock.
