8415 Slide Latch

The 8415 Slide latch has three components: (each sold separately)

• a slotted sliding bar which is sold assembled to a mounting plate,
• a bush which is gripped in its grooved section by the sliding bar, and
• a spacer which raises the bush to clear thick panels.

The sliding bar and mounting plate are attached to the removable panel and the bush is mounted to the panel's stationary support. In closure the spring action of the bar resists opening under vibration and shock loads.

Clearance above the slide latch need only allow for fingers to grip the sliding bar. The latch is also sold with the handle pointing downward for mounting on the underside of the panel.

Installation:

Bushing Installation Methods

Fasten the bushing using any of the above methods. We recommend a 5/32" or 3.97 mm rivet as this is the closest to a standard size rivet without going over the .170" I.D. of both the Bushing and Spacer. Fasteners for the bushing are not supplied.
