About Rotech’s Over-Centre Latch
Looking for a latch to secure your tailgate, drop sides, or maybe your toolbox or dog box doors? Our over-centre latches allow you to secure and fasten a wide range of doors and gates.
The are made from zinc plated mild steel, to ensure a strong latch that lasts.
And they are completed adjustable! We have three different sizes, which can be screwed in to have a tight short length latch, or screwed out to give your latch a bit of reach. This allows you to install the latch and do the fine tuning adjustments afterward.
Don’t want your valuables to go missing? These latches can be padlocked to ensure your belongings are secure.
How does THE latch work?
Each latch assembly consists of the over centre latch itself, which is one piece, and a hook plate as well.
The latch is set in the lock position when the lever is down. As you open the lever up, the ring section will loosen and unlatch.
When you push the lever down, it pulls the ring section tight up against the hook plate.
Don’t Forget to lubricate your latches. It will make your latch smoother to use & last longer.
