Reliable and Durable Latching Mechanism!

This latch mechanism has been a saving grace for my industrial project. Industrial and Scientific grade materials ensure durability, and through trial and error, I found that it is very easy to install. This thermoplastic elastomer flexible concealed latch provides a secure lock and is easily operable with just one hand... The only con I found is that it requires a bit more force to open than some other latches I've used. Overall, an excellent addition to my industrial hardware collection..

Pros
  • Flexible and durable material
Cons
  • Potential for limited strength and holding power compared to metal alternatives.

Replace the lock with the one I have.

Screw instead of the same latch as mine. Pros: Low profile and rubber coating, so less risk of breaking a finger. The downside is that the latch falls over the edge of the cover and you have to manually pull it out of the way. No big deal, just a light PITA.

Pros
  • Absorbs shock and compensates for misalignment
Cons
  • Wrinkled
