Compression Handle Latch
70048 Adjustable Compression Handle Latch
The 70048 is an adjustable compression T handle latch for enclosure doors that need a tight, gasket-sealing close. The handle turns 90 degrees to open or close, and the adjustable mechanism applies up to 6 mm of compression against the sealing gasket. We supply it with the gasket included.
We offer this compression handle latch in locking and non-locking versions, with a chrome or black powder finish. The locking version uses a standard K050 key. Buyers specify this latch for electrical cabinets, equipment enclosures, and vehicle compartments where dust and water sealing matters.

Why Compression Matters for Enclosure Sealing
Gasket Compression
The adjustable mechanism pulls the door against the gasket with up to 6 mm of travel. This creates a tighter seal than a standard latch.
Locking or Non-Locking
Choose the locking version with K050 key for restricted access, or the non-locking version for equipment that only needs positive closure.
90-Degree Operation
A quarter turn of the T handle opens or closes the latch. The handle is easy to grip with gloves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The 70048 is available in locking and non-locking versions. The non-locking version keeps the compression action but removes the key cylinder, which suits equipment that only needs positive closure.
