M3 - Multi-Point Compression Latching Systems

A complete M3 latching system consists of an actuator, two or more remote compression latches, and one or two hexagonal rod(s).The hex-shaped drive rods run the length of the cabinet door to enable you to drive multiple compression latches simultaneously from one actuation point.

• Multiple latch points can be positioned anywhere along the hex drive rod
• Each remote latch point provides 5 mm (.20") of compression
• Easy to operate with a straight pull on the actuator handle
• Protection of latch mechanisms inside of gasketed seal is suitable for outdoor use
• Available with multiple choices of hand-, tool-, or key-operated actuator styles
• Latch mechanisms offer adjustable grip dimensions to suit application

Available Options

• Optional keepers are available to provide grip ranges from 15 mm (.59") to 30 mm (1.18")
• Lift-handle actuator offers added option of padlock hasp to existing built-in locking mechanisms
• Optional gaskets available for environmental or EMC sealing

Standards and Specifications

• Maximum static working load: 890 N (200 lbs.)
• When mounted with the appropriate gaskets, the lift-, paddle-, and push-button-handle-style actuators satisfy the requirements of NEMA 4, IP-66, or EMC applications
