The R4-10 is designed to eliminate noise by trapping the striker between a rubber bumper and rotor. Without extra clearance or room to move, any noise potential that could be caused by metal-on-metal movement or vibration is eradicated. While both the single and two-stage options provide proven, secure latching, the two-stage option is designed specifically to prevent false latching conditions.
The compact design of the product occupies minimal space within the enclosure, providing concealed latching and increased security. These latches are suitable for demanding environments and can be used in a broad range of applications across industries. They are also available in mild steel and can be combined with Southco’s line of mechanical and electronic actuators and cables for a complete rotary latching system.
Global product manager James Stroud commented: “The newest addition to our R4-10 Series combines rugged stainless steel construction and provides a significant reduction in the common ‘buzz, squeak and rattle’ of door hardware during operation, making it an ideal choice for heavy duty application zones where corrosion resistance is crucial to product performance.”
