N4 - folding T-handle style Vise Action Compression Latches

Heavy equipment and off-highway applications subject to high vibration benefit from the compression action and robust performance of N4 Vise Action Compression Latches, for securing door and panels with or without the use of gaskets. T-Handle design provides a substantial grip, yet conveniently folds out of the way when not in use. The consistent 6.4 mm (.25") compression of the Vise Action mechanism provides smooth pull-up that holds doors tightly closed and reduces or eliminates noise and rattle, even in heavy vibration applications. Its over-center latching mechanism also prevents accidental opening due to extreme shock or vibration.

Their improved powder-coated finish resists blistering, provides corrosion and scratch resistance. Separately ordered hardware packages and adjustable pawls accommodate a wide range of grip dimensions. N4 Latches are available in locking and non-locking styles.
