Draw Latches
Sierra Pacific Engineering and Products (SPEP) provides our clients with high-quality draw latches. These are a type of access hardware used to secure doors, panels, or enclosures in place.
Draw latches consist of two components — a hook or loop and a catch — that are attached to adjacent surfaces. By engaging the latch, you will pull the hook into the catch, securing the door in place.

What Are Draw Latches Used For?
These pieces of equipment are commonly used to secure doors, panels, or enclosures in a range of applications. They provide a secure yet accessible solution for holding surfaces tightly together. Common uses of these components include cabinets and enclosures, industrial equipment, automotive and marine uses, and toolboxes and cases.
How Does a Draw Latch Work?
These components typically consist of two parts: a hook or loop attached to one surface and a catch attached to an adjacent surface. When you engage the latch, the hook or loop gets pulled into the catch, creating a secure connection and holding the surfaces firmly together.
What Are the Benefits of Installing a Draw Latch?
Our hardware ensures quick and easy access, as well as a secure closure. These parts also provide great versatility and durability, which is why clients in so many industries trust SPEP products for their access hardware needs.
Are Custom Slam Latches Available?
Certainly. SPEP makes custom latches. Our in-house engineering team can oversee everything from design and prototyping to mass production. Our staff ensures that the final deliverable aligns with your intended use case, project demands, and durability requirements.
How Do I Install a Draw Latch?
Start by choosing your desired location, mark the drill holes on the two mounting surfaces, attach the latch and strike plate, and finally test the operation. SPEP includes detailed installation instructions with every order. Remember, too, that you can always reach out to our support team with any questions or concerns.
Can Draw Latches Be Used Outdoors?
Yes, some of our parts can be used outdoors. SPEP recommends a corrosion-resistant material and finish if you are installing latches in harsh environments or outdoor locations where it can be exposed to external elements. Doing so enables you to maximize the lifespan of your parts while preserving the aesthetics of the components.
