Meet the new N5 Lift-and-Turn Compression Latch, featuring strong sealing action and a broad, ergonomic t-handle in a single compact piece of hardware. If you need strong compression and smooth ergonomic actuation in a small footprint, this latch has you covered.

Get a Grip on Your Panel

Working conditions aren’t always ideal. Users might be out in the cold, in the rain, or you might really not want them to touch whatever is in your enclosure with their bare hands. The good news is, with the N5 Compression Latch, you don’t have to choose between user safety and user sanity as they drive themselves crazy trying to get thick protective gloves around a smaller actuator. The N5’s broad ergonomic T-handle is easy to operate with a gloved hand, and folds neatly into the latch cup when not in use. It’s there when you need it, and safely tucked away when you don’t.

Keep the Outside Where it Belongs

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just design everything for sterile lab conditions? Unfortunately, not all of us can be so lucky. Unavoidably, there is going to be stuff you want to keep out of your enclosure, and the access panel is the most likely thing to let that stuff in. While we can’t help what gets in when the panel is open, the N5 Compression Latch can ensure that when the panel is closed, it’s sealed tight. Designed to be NEMA4/IP65 sealing compliant, it provides strong compression that when combined with a gasket, can seal out dust and water to protect your enclosure’s vital internal parts.

Can You Really Min-Max a Latch?

The answer is yes. Absolutely. Every benefit of the N5 Lift-and-Turn Compression Latch comes in a single compact device designed to give you more room both inside your enclosure, and on the surface of your panel. If you don’t think you have the space for ergonomics and strong sealing, check these specs  against your design, and think again.

Your Type of Security

You don’t need a fancy custom solution to meet your security needs. The N5 has a variety of locking options and a non-locking variant, so you can get exactly the security option you want. These include key-locking cores and tool-operated options such as No. 2 Phillips recess, slotted recess, and hex recess. The N5 adapts to meet the security needs of each user without additional customization.
