Case Latches & Secure Locking Hardware for Cases and Boxes
2 ProductsCase latches are essential locking hardware designed to secure flight cases, toolboxes, equipment cabinets, and industrial enclosures. Available in multiple styles to suit different installation and security needs, including recessed flush latches, surface mount latches, draw/toggle latches, and slam latches. Each type offers unique advantages: recessed latches provide a low-profile, flush fit; surface mount latches allow for easy installation without recessing; draw latches deliver strong tension for heavy-duty applications; and slam latches enable quick, one-handed operation. Made of high-strength metal with corrosion-resistant finishes, these latches withstand frequent use and transport conditions. Also known as: flight case latches, toolbox latches, draw latches, toggle latches, slam latches, over-center latches, case locking latches.

Frequently Asked Questions About Case Latches
- SUS304 stainless steel - excellent corrosion resistance with passivated finishes available for enhanced durability in harsh environments (consult our engineers for specifications). Our most popular choice for marine hardware, food processing equipment, and outdoor enclosures.
- SUS201 stainless steel - cost-effective option for indoor dry environments with good general corrosion resistance.
- Cold-rolled carbon steel (SPCC) - high tensile strength for heavy-load applications, available with zinc, nickel, or chrome plating for corrosion protection.
- Zinc alloy (ZAMAK) - precision die-cast for complex geometries, naturally corrosion-resistant, ideal for decorative and medium-duty applications.
- ABS plastic - lightweight, non-conductive, and chemical-resistant, perfect for electronic equipment cases and medical instrument enclosures.
