How many latches are included in this pack?

This listing is for a pack of three (3) retaining hooks / over centre latches.

What are the dimensions of the latch?

The latch dimensions are approximately 35mm in length, 21mm in width, and 9mm in height (total thickness of the body is 3mm).

Does this latch come with mounting hardware?

Is this latch suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the zinc-plated finish provides resistance to rust and corrosion, making it suitable for various environments, though regular maintenance is recommended for extended outdoor use.

Troubleshooting

Latch does not close securely

Check alignment between the latch and the catch. Ensure the catch has at least 25mm of internal width. Verify that the mounting surface is stable and the latch is securely fastened. Inspect for any obstructions.

Latch is difficult to operate

Ensure there is no debris or obstruction within the latch mechanism or catch. The mounting surface might be too flexible, causing flex when the latch is operated; reinforce the mounting area. Check if the latch is bent or damaged.

Rust or corrosion appearing on the latch

While the zinc plating offers protection, prolonged exposure to harsh environments can lead to corrosion. Clean the affected area and consider applying a protective coating suitable for metal. If corrosion is severe, replacement may be necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Constructed from strong CR-v steel for excellent durability.
  • Zinc-plated finish offers good resistance to rust and corrosion.
  • Compact size makes it suitable for tight spaces.
  • High weight capacity (497kg) ensures secure fastening.
  • Comes in a convenient pack of three.

Cons

  • Requires precise alignment and mounting for optimal functionality.
  • The 3mm thickness might be too thin for extremely heavy-duty applications demanding thicker profiles.
  • Specific compatibility is limited to catches with a minimum 25mm internal width.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Determine the mounting location, ensuring sufficient clearance for the latch to operate.
  2. Align the latch with the corresponding catch mechanism. The catch should have a minimum internal width of 25mm to accommodate the hook.
  3. Mark the positions for the three pre-drilled 5mm mounting holes.
  4. Drill pilot holes (if necessary, depending on the mounting surface).
  5. Secure the latch using appropriate screws or rivets (not included), ensuring a firm attachment.
  6. Test the latch mechanism to ensure it closes smoothly and securely.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for use with over-centre catch mechanisms.
  • Requires a minimum internal width of 25mm within the catch.
  • Ensure the mounting surface is robust enough to handle the 497kg maximum capacity.

Care:

  • Clean periodically with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and debris.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the zinc plating.
  • Inspect regularly for signs of wear or damage. If damage is found, replace the latch immediately to maintain security.
