Stocked from flush slam latch to adjustable-grip slam latch (size designation). ### Industries that specify Slam Latches - **Equipment enclosures:** Doors closed many times a day. - **Vehicle bodies:** Service compartment doors. - **Agricultural machinery:** Access panels. - **Industrial cabinets:** Fast, one-handed closing. - **Machine building & OEM:** Made-to-drawing parts used inside a specific assembly. - **Maintenance & MRO:** Replacement of a component matched to an existing drawing. ### Typical applications - choosing a latch whose grip range matches the door and gasket - checking the strike alignment before final fixing - selecting a keyed version where access must be controlled - using an adjustable-grip latch on a gasketed door - a function defined by the part drawing rather than by a catalog standard ### Service conditions to specify against - **Marine and coastal:** Available in A4 (316) stainless for chloride exposure — coastal structures, pool halls, water treatment and deck hardware, where A2 will eventually pit. - **Vibration:** Specified where cyclic load would loosen a plain nut or screw — rotating plant, rail, mobile equipment and anything that is not re-torqued in service. ### Where to use something else - Do not fit a slam latch to a door whose gasket needs real compression unless the latch is the adjustable-grip type; a fixed pawl either will not close or will not seal.

Side view and top view, drawn to the dimensions in the table below and redrawn for any size selected. - **Closing action:** push to close - **Release:** key or trigger - **Typical panel:** enclosure and cabinet doors ## Dimensions & Specifications (Trade series (push-to-close slam latches)) Every row below is a starting point for the customizer above — pick any size and the drawing will redraw to that row. | Form | Closing action | Release | Typical panel | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | flush slam latch | push to close | key or trigger | enclosure and cabinet doors | | lever slam latch | push to close | lever | vehicle and equipment doors | | push-to-close with keylock | push to close | keyed cylinder | secured enclosures | | adjustable-grip slam latch | push to close | lever or key | doors with gasket compression | Slam Latches conform to Trade series (push-to-close slam latches). As panel latches & catches, they are specified by the dimensions in the table below; this page also covers materials, finishes and typical uses. ## What Are Slam Latches? Slam Latches are panel latches & catches defined by Trade series (push-to-close slam latches). They are selected by size designation and the dimensional characteristics shown below, and are available in a range of materials and finishes to suit the application and environment. ## Materials & Finishes Common materials include carbon steel (typically zinc plated or hot-dip galvanized), hardened or case-hardened steel where wear matters, and stainless steel A2 (304) or A4 (316) for corrosion resistance. Specify the material, hardness where relevant, and the surface finish appropriate to your application and environment. ## Specification Guides Each size, material and standard of Slam Latches has its own reference page with the figures for that one configuration. ## Goes With Hardware commonly specified alongside Slam Latches. ## Pricing Slam Latches are supplied to order. Pricing starts from approximately US$3.20 per piece for standard configurations in the material called out on the drawing; final pricing depends on size, material, finish and order quantity (MOQ applies). Submit your exact configuration with the quote form above. Custom manufacturing · Made to drawing ## Need a slam latches outside the standard range? The geometry is whatever the drawing says. A machined component has no standard to depart from, so the drawing and the tolerance scheme are the whole specification. Made by stamping or punching. Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.

The stages below are where its class and finish are actually decided. 1. ![Wire rod feeding into a cold heading machine](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/09-wire-rod-feed-cold-heading-machine.webp) 01 **Cold heading** Wire rod is drawn to size and cold-formed into blanks. Forming rather than cutting keeps the grain flow continuous around the head, which is where a bolt is most likely to fail. Head dimensions and under-head radius checked at set-up and per shift. 2. ![Thread rolling machine producing bolt threads](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/03-thread-rolling-machine-bolt-production.webp) 02 **Thread rolling** Threads are rolled between hardened dies rather than cut. Rolled threads are stronger in fatigue than cut threads and hold pitch and flank angle far more consistently across a batch. Go / no-go ring gauges to ISO 965 tolerance class 6g. 3. ![Baskets of bolts staged for heat treatment](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/05-heat-treatment-baskets-black-bolts.webp) 03 **Heat treatment** Quench-and-temper brings carbon and alloy steel to the property class ordered — 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 — with the furnace charge tracked so a finished lot can be traced back to it. Core hardness and tensile tested per lot to ISO 898-1. 4. ![Zinc plated bolts in a treatment basket](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/23-zinc-plated-bolts-treatment-basket.webp) 04 **Surface treatment** Zinc, zinc-nickel, hot-dip galvanizing, black oxide, phosphate and Dacromet, selected against the service environment rather than against the price list. Coating thickness and neutral salt spray hours to ISO 9227. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What standard are Slam Latches manufactured to? Slam Latches are manufactured to Trade series (push-to-close slam latches). The dimensional values on this page follow that standard. ### Which sizes of Slam Latches does Engineering Hardware supply?
