Snappy Panel Latches
Snappy Panel Latches

The simple, yet efficient design of the Snappy Latch provides for positive latch engagement with a simple push-to-close motion, then releases automatically when the panel is lifted. The user never even touches the latch. It's a great choice for applications requiring frequent access with an economy of motion.
