🔧 Core Function

A compression latch doesn’t just hold a door closed—it pulls the door tightly against the frame, compressing a gasket or seal. This creates:

  • A weatherproof / dustproof seal
  • Reduced vibration and rattling
  • A more secure closure than standard latches

🛠️ How It Works (Step-by-Step)

  1. Open Position
    • Cam is disengaged from the frame
    • Door can swing freely
  2. Closing
    • Door is pushed shut
    • T-handle is turned
  3. Engagement
    • Cam rotates behind the strike/frame
  4. Compression
    • Continued rotation pulls the door inward
    • Gasket is compressed → seal is formed
  5. Locked Position (if applicable)
    • Handle may fold flat and lock in place
