Product highlights and attributes Material: Aluminium alloy construction for a balance of strength and light weight; suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor applications. Functionality: Springloaded bolt latch provides automatic catch and positive locking action when the strike aligns with the latch body. Compatibility: Intended for attic/loft ceiling hatches and other access points such as interior doors, small gates and windows; works where a compact spring bolt latch is appropriate. Design: Compact, lowprofile housing to fit in confined spaces and to keep the bolt neatly concealed when retracted. Performance: Smooth, springassist operation to reduce required force and prevent accidental openings due to vibration or draft. Typical applications and use cases Attic and loft ceiling hatches: Keeps the hatch closed against drafts and accidental opening while allowing quick, automatic engagement when the hatch is lowered into place. Small doors, utility cupboards, and windows: Provides a clean, automatic closure for interior access panels and secondary doors that do not need a keyed lock. Garden gates and exterior panels (sheltered locations): Useful for lightweight gates or panels where a simple automatic bolt adds convenience and an extra measure of security. Installation and care Installation is straightforward; position the latch and matching strike so the spring bolt can engage cleanly when the panel closes. Check alignment before final fixing to ensure smooth, reliable engagement and to avoid premature wear. Periodic cleaning and a light application of lubricant to the moving parts will keep operation smooth; aluminium alloy construction reduces corrosion concerns but routine inspection is recommended. Why choose this latch This aluminium alloy, springloaded bolt latch combines automatic catching, a compact profile, and durable construction to deliver dependable closure for attic hatches and similar access points.
