Concordville, PA, March 31st, 2010 - The Southco^®N2 Compression Latch is now available in a medium size to complement the existing standard size latch. The heavy-duty, lift-and-turn N2 compression latches provide durable construction, simple mechanical action and consistent pull-up compression for snug closure.

Ideal for heavy-duty applications in off-highway and industrial equipment, the N2 latches resist stress, shock and vibration common with engine covers, storage compartments and access panels. The easy-to-grip T-handle provides an ample handhold and folds down for minimal protrusion. The new medium size version is ideal for use with gloved hands. With both locking and non-locking models available—with or without a recessed cup—both the medium and standard size N2 latches provide flexibility for a wide variety of heavy-duty applications. Several cam options offer adjustable grip dimensions to provide flexibility to tailor latch performance to specific needs. The common panel preparation requirements make the N2 an ideal retrofit solution; for new applications, the N2 provides a more durable option than competitive slam and compression latches on the market.

Product Manager Jesús Albillos adds, “The new medium size N2 delivers the same rugged reliability as the standard size and allows for enhanced design flexibility and easiness of use. Its intuitive lift and turn action mechanism generates sufficient compression to hold the heaviest doors snug and rattle-free.”
