Built Strong for Demanding Jobs

This spring latch assembly is engineered to perform under pressure. With a 1/2-inch diameter solid steel pin, it’s made to withstand repeated use without bending or failure. Whether you’re securing a tailgate, locking a side panel, or reinforcing a swinging door, this latch delivers firm, reliable engagement that holds fast—even on uneven ground or in high-vibration environments.

Zinc-Plated for Maximum Corrosion Resistance

Exposure to weather, road grime, and corrosive chemicals is no match for this latch. Its zinc-plated finish offers excellent resistance to rust, oxidation, and wear. That means less maintenance, longer service life, and better performance in harsh outdoor environments—whether you’re working in rain, snow, dust, or salt-heavy conditions.

For professionals who depend on their equipment every day, zinc plating adds peace of mind and real-world durability.

Spring-Loaded for Quick, Secure Operation

Speed and convenience matter—especially on the job site. This latch assembly features an internal spring mechanism that automatically retracts the pin when pulled and snaps it back into place when released. No fumbling, no tools—just simple one-hand operation to engage or disengage the lock quickly.

This self-locking action provides an added layer of safety and security, making it ideal for high-use areas where reliability is critical. Whether you’re opening a tailgate 50 times a day or locking down equipment on the move, this spring latch works efficiently every time.
