Paddle Latches
The basic look and function of this entire line is elegant in its simplicity. The flat paddle in a flush-mount cup provides simplicity of design; the enclosed slide mechanism provides simplicity of operation. Lift paddle to retract slide and open door. Push door to close, and spring-loaded slide slips back behind frame.
