Compression latch

The range can be modified, depending on the length of the cam. Standard heights are 22mm and 28mm - other cams are available. "Innovative use of a planetary gear for actuation gives significant compression at extremely low torque which ensuring strength and durability. The use of a roller at the end of the cam minimises scrape damage to panels - often caused by traditional cams - and also reduces the required closing force." Two of Dirak's technologies, 'D-Snap' and 'Design Symmetry' are incorporated into the latch. The former "provides fast and simple operation without hardware or tools. All components of the latch are pre-assembled which makes installation into sandwich-type panels easy from the front." "Design Symmetry allows the same latch to be installed on both left-hand and right-hand doors. The 180º rotation range of the cam eliminates the need to re-install from left to right giving flexibility in applications and reducing inventory." The latch can be actuated with standard inserts, double bit 3mm and 5mm and square 8mm; others are available.
