Product Overview:
The DK635-1 Slide Latch is a heavy-duty, high-security sliding bolt mechanism engineered for reliable locking of industrial doors, heavy machinery panels, and metal enclosures. With an 85mm base length and a 114mm overall length, this robust latch features a built-in operation handle and a large Ø16mm locking hole. The DK635-1 Slide Latch is constructed from high-strength steel and finished with a white zinc plating, providing excellent durability and moderate corrosion resistance for demanding industrial applications.
Why Choose Steel with White Zinc Plating?
The DK635-1 is constructed from high-strength steel, offering excellent structural integrity and impact resistance. It is finished with a white zinc plating, which provides a protective barrier against rust and corrosion. While not fully stainless steel, the white zinc plating is highly effective for indoor industrial environments, automotive applications, and general machinery where cost-effectiveness and reliable performance are required.
Key Features & Benefits:
-
Secure Locking Hole (Ø16mm): The most prominent feature of the DK635-1 is its large Ø16mm locking hole located in the sliding bolt. This allows you to insert a padlock, pin, or wire seal, providing an extra layer of security and tamper-evidence.
-
Integrated Operation Handle: The latch features a built-in 5.8mm thick handle on the side, allowing for easy manual operation without needing to install an external rod or lever.
-
Heavy-Duty Mounting (4-Ø8mm): The base is equipped with four large Ø8mm mounting holes (spaced at 40.5mm and 82.5mm), ensuring a rock-solid installation on heavy doors and panels that experience high vibration or impact.
-
Robust Sliding Mechanism: The 85mm base length and heavy-gauge steel construction provide a deep, secure engagement, ensuring doors remain locked under extreme conditions.
