Slam Latches

The material and finish you choose for your access hardware will have a substantial impact on its lifespan, functionality, and durability. Plastic variants offer corrosion resistance and a lightweight design. They are also cost-effective, making them ideal for less rugged applications.

Steel slam latches offer strength and reliability in demanding industrial environments. They are built to last, require very little maintenance, and can stand up against the rigors of daily use.

SPEP also offers stainless steel hardware that possesses superior corrosion resistance and the durability of steel. These latches are suitable for marine and outdoor applications that involve exposure to harsh environments or other external factors it may be exposed to.

A slam latch is a piece of access hardware used to provide a secure and convenient way to close doors, lids, or enclosure panels. As the name suggests, they are closed by “slamming” the door or lid shut.

When the latch contacts the striker plate, the mechanism engages. These pieces of hardware are quite common on marine equipment, vehicles, and industrial machinery.

When selecting a slam latch, consider the environment it will be used in, as well as the overall workload and frequency of operation. More rigorous use cases require robust materials, such as stainless steel. You should also consider whether you need additional security to prevent unauthorized access or whether convenience is a priority.

Absolutely. SPEP offers customization options for our slam latches to meet specific project requirements. Your organization can request custom design services from our engineering team. Alternatively, we can modify existing equipment to scale it up or down based on the demands of your use.

During our collaborative design process, we will evaluate the scope of your project and help you select the ideal material and style for the latch. The end result is a deliverable that meets your unique demands and offers optimal performance.

Yes. Sierra Pacific Engineering and Products offers locking variations of some of our most popular slam latches. These devices function much like their traditional counterparts, but they also include a locking mechanism and key slot. This option is popular for use on toolboxes, electrical enclosures, and first responder equipment lockers.
