Likewise, how does a draw latch work?
Draw latches work by pulling both sides of the latch together during the closing action, ensuring a tight seal, holding the two surfaces securely closed. If the closure uses a gasket between the door and the frame, a draw latch serves to compress the gasket and create a strong seal that keeps out dust and water.
Correspondingly, how does a rotary latch work?
Rotary latches provide an effective and reliable means of remotely opening interior and exterior doors, compartments, hoods, and other compartments. They combine security with push-to-close convenience. By pulling the lever, the rotary latch is triggered, allowing the hood to be opened remotely.
Draw Latch Description Draw latches operate on the principle of drawing two items together using tension. For typical draw latches the tension is released when the latch is rotated to a vertical positon and is applied when the latch is rotated to a horizontal position.
