Push catches
What are pressure latches and how do they work?
Push latches are mechanical devices that are used to lock doors, flaps or other moving parts. They work by being unlocked by pressure on a trigger, allowing the locked part to be opened.
What types of pressure latches are there and which one is best for my application?
There are different types of pressure snappers, including spring and magnetic pressure snappers. The best choice depends on the specific application. Spring-loaded latches offer a strong holding force, while magnetic latches are particularly quiet and low-maintenance. When making a selection, it is important to consider the requirements in terms of holding force, noise level and maintenance requirements.
