Versatile Compression Latches
What are compression latches?
Compression latches, or draw latches, use mechanical compression to secure the door they're installed on when locked.
Ovesco stocks a wide range of easy-to-use compression latch designs, allowing you to find an ideal locking solution that suits your needs. Ideal for securing doors and hatches on boats and heavy machinery, trucks and utes, our draw latches can be twisted, pressed or depressed into a locked position.
They can also provide higher levels of environmental protection due to their powerful seals, preventing debris from entering an application area through gaps around the enclosure or door perimeter.

How does a compression latch work?
A compression latch uses a cam-and-latch mechanism to tighten the door or panel against a seal or gasket. As the handle or key turns, the mechanism draws the panel flush, creating a controlled compression that improves closure and reduces vibration. This makes them ideal for commercial equipment and transport applications.
