KIPP draw latches are available in a wide variety of designs, including over-center, under-center, and adjustable designs. Most designs are available in coated steel for general purpose applications and stainless steel for more challenging applications. Applications include industrial machinery and tools, safety enclosures, farm equipment, food equipment, packaging machinery, and medical devices.
Fixed Grip Latches
Featuring an over-center design, these latches are available in steel or stainless steel. The K0043 series with spring clip is especially well suited for use on vibrating equipment, as the spring bail is under tension and resists loosening. The K0044 and K0045 series are also vibration resistant. All three designs include holes that can be used for a safety catch or official seal. Catch plates (keepers) must be ordered separately.
Adjustable Latches
KIPP adjustable latches feature over-center and under-center designs. Threaded spindles permit adjustment of the bail length, to allow for varying tolerances or to set the correct tension. Options include safety catches to prevent accidental opening and padlock loops to prevent unauthorized opening. Catch plates (keepers) are available in a wide variety of styles and must be purchased separately.
