Compression Latches​

An extensive line of premium latches built around the unique SOUTHCO® VISE ACTION® mechanism that provides both cam engagement and vibration-dampening compression with a continuous half-turn motion. New access styles, new materials and finish options, and expanded installation styles make this the most versatile compression latch solution.
