Draw Latches
Draw latches — also called over-center latches or toggle latches — provide powerful, vibration-resistant closure through a mechanical over-center clamping action that self-tightens under dynamic load, making them the preferred closure for transport cases, heavy truck compartments, and mobile industrial containers. HTAN’s draw latch range is manufactured with ISO 9001-certified quality and full OEM/ODM customization for global customers.
