Latches: protecting personnel and equipment

Wherever personnel must be protected from potentially dangerous equipment – or where vulnerable equipment needs protecting from people or the elements – then generally an enclosure system of some kind is used, coupled with a door access device. 

The Elesa range of standard latches is ideal for this purpose.

Ranging from its CMT wingknob, through CSMT T style quarter-turn handles and VC rotor cams with lobe knobs, Elesa cover typical wall-mount enclosure requirements. 

Larger cabinets are catered for with their CSMH insert T handle latches and CLC swinghandles. 

For sliding doors and drawers the Elesa PR-CH series of snap-in flush pull handles with lever latch provide keyed security with a recessed handle in one compact unit.
