FAQs about Ovesco's locks and latches
What’s the best latch for toolboxes in high-vibration environments?
For toolboxes in mobile or vibrating environments, look for push-to-close or over-centre latches that stay secure even when the box is in motion. A solid internal latch mechanism, paired with a rubber grip or compression fit, helps reduce rattle and ensures safety during transit.
