Quarter turn latches
The Quarter-turn latches always consist of a 1/4 twist lock, retaining washer and lock bottom part. All components, namely the locking bolt, retaining washer and bottom part are captive components which are inseparable joined to the frame. A quarter-turn latch was designed to securely hold and close hatches, container lids or machine panelling. Quarter-turn locks are closed or opened by turning it through 90°. This moves the cross pin in the locking bolt through a curve in the bottom part of the lock, thus tensioning the spring. At the end of the curve there is a little recess in which the cross pin engages to secure the connection. The pretensioning force of the spring ensures that the connection is held securely despite any vibrations.

Compression latches
Compression latches are mainly use with doors and housings, which have increased sealing requirements. For that reason, a higher thrust pressure is needed.
Compression latches typically consist of a rotating bolt that is inserted into a bracket. When closing the quarter-turn lock, the bolt is turned to reach a locking position. This locks the movable element securely. The rotary movement generates compression force. This compression force presses the element firmly into place and create a seal against dust, dirt, moisture or other environmental influences.
The range includes three different options of compression latches.
