Slam Latches Zinc Die-Cast, With and Without Lock

JW Winco, Inc., A Ganter Company, a leading supplier of standard industrial machine components, now has available GN 936 Slam Latches Zinc Die-Cast, with and without Lock.

The design of the GN 936 slam latches enable doors and closures to close effortlessly. “The latch engages automatically when the door is closed preventing the door from opening unintentionally,” said John Winkler, CEO, Office of the President at JW Winco. “The slots enable the slam latch to be assembled to aluminum profile systems with different cross-sections.”

The lockable versions of the slam latches are each supplied with two keys, and the key can be removed in both the open and locked positions.

The housing is zinc die-cast, powder coated, and has either a black or silver, textured finish. The cover and latch are plastic and come in either black-gray or light gray. The lock mechanism is zinc die-cast while the key is steel, nickel plated.

By automatically latching doors, flaps or other access points to work rooms, automation zones and machine enclosures when the latch snaps into place, slam latches are always the first choice when quick and easy solutions are required.

The new slam latches are mounted on the surface and are compatible with a very wide range of profile systems as chosen by the customer. Naturally, they can also be mounted to smooth surfaces. In the latter case, it is also possible to affix the part from the rear. Socket head cap screws, hexagon head screws and hexagon nuts, all in thread size M6, may be used for mounting. Thanks to the slot design, it is easy to adjust for different gap dimensions between the frame and the door.
