Southco’s New R4 Rotary Latch Solution

Product Updates, Southco

When design or convenience requires that the handle and latch mechanism be separated, Southco’s Rotary Latch Systems are the perfect solution. In applications ranging from off-highway and construction equipment, to marine and recreational vehicles, to tool boxes and enclosures, Southco Rotary Latch Systems offer a complete end-to-end solution.

Soutcho's new robust latching solutions for doors and panels of heavy-duty equipment and vehicles combine rotary-action security with push-to-close convenience. Their compact design provides concealed operation, while tolerating misalignment on closing, engaging easily with low closing force, and latching firmly with a snug, secure fit.
