The new E3 VISE ACTION® Compression Latch combines high strength with shorter, vibration-proof locking even in the most challenging environments. The compact E3 compression lock fits perfectly in cabinets with space restrictions

The soft and precise VISE ACTION® design adjusts the rule behind the frame and pulls it together with a single continuous half-turn rotation. Consistently compresses 6.4 mm when locking for the best function of applications with seals in and helps reduce or eliminate vibration caused by noise and rattle. The locking function prevents unintentional opening due to shock or vibration.
