Toggle Latches

These standard parts are used as a secure means of closure for industrial applications, for example flaps, covers or machine cladding. They are simple in design and versatile in use. At EMKA, you can obtain toggle latches in various versions, which ensure simple and secure closure. Depending on your requirements, we offer you toggle latches in various designs, for example with wire toggle latch and materials such as stainless steel or zinc die-cast.

The mechanism of a toggle latch is simple. The toggle latch is hooked into a tensioning hook and a lever is tensioned downwards, closing the toggle latch. This builds up tensile forces that correspond to a multiple of the actuating force. By closing the tensioning mechanism in the toggle latch, a so-called lever dead centre is overcome, which reliably and securely locks the simple lock in the closed state.

They are also designed for office furniture, display cases and retail store fittings. Bow handles can be used on both indoor and outdoor applications dependent on material and design.

Most popular variants are manufactured in black polyamide, featuring front and rear fixing with/without clip on-cover, to screen fixings.
