What is a Slide Latch?

Slide latch hardware is used as a basic locking mechanism and is a reliable, cost-effective solution. It’s used in industrial, agricultural, and residential settings to secure doors or gates. 

A slide latch is one of the easiest latches to install and typically consists of a latch bolt, plate, catch plate, and a handle or lever. 

Types of Slide Latches

Latch slide hardware consists of simple and sturdy lock mechanisms that offer basic security. They come in different varieties, including:

Push-to-Close Slide Latch

These locking mechanisms are spring-loaded, where the latch automatically locks in when a door or a panel is pushed to close. They come in a variety of corrosion-resistant materials, like stainless steel, zinc alloys, and nylon. This type of latch slide is user-friendly and compact in design.

Toggle Latch

A toggle latch is a strong and durable type of slide latch that’s favoured for being reliable and easy to use. Toggle latches are designed to withstand high-vibration settings and are well-suited to industrial applications. 

These latches come in a variety of models. The slide latch hardware of a toggle latch can be lightweight, or medium- or heavy-duty, depending on the needs of your project.

Snap-in Slide Latch

This type of latch slide has a snap-in mechanism and is commonly used in automotive applications, furniture, or in cases or boxes that need to be secured yet still be easily accessible. 

Snap-in latches have a quick operation and are generally easy to install, often not requiring additional screws.

Draw Latch

A draw latch is a mechanical lock mechanism that pulls or draws two separate pieces together when they’re closed. It consists of a lever, spring action, and a clasp or hook. 

Draw latches are commonly used as slide latch hardware for toolboxes and shipping cases to secure panels in automotive equipment, furniture, and machinery or industrial applications. Heavy-duty draw latches are designed for industrial uses, while manual draw latches are used for smaller applications and are operated manually.
