Description
Overview:
This recessed compression T handle latch (MPN 800 1348) is a locking, keyed-alike unit designed for flush fitment on access doors, lockers and hatches in commercial and specialist vehicle bodies. The recessed dish minimises snagging and offers a neat, low-profile finish, while the compression action pulls the door against its seal to help reduce rattle. The body is moulded from durable, black glass-filled nylon for impact resistance and low weight, paired with a black powder-coated, zinc alloy die-cast T handle for strength and corrosion resistance. Supplied ready to install with clamp plates, a gasket and an adjustable cam, it provides a straightforward solution for new build or replacement work. Overall dimensions are approximately 150 mm (5.91 in) wide by 120 mm (4.72 in) long, with an 80 mm (3.15 in) depth to accommodate the cam and compression mechanism. Suitable for trade and fleet use where common keying is required.
