Feature and Benafits

A gear-motor drive distinguishes the R4-EM latch from competitive solenoid driven electromechanical latches – with lower power requirements, higher load capability, and a better feel to latch operation. The delayed re-lock version provides the flexibility of controlling the unlock time while monitoring remotely with an integral microswitch option.

  • Multiple latch points can be positioned anywhere along the hex drive rod
  • Each remote latch point provides 5 mm (.20") of compression
  • Easy to operate with a straight pull on the actuator handle
  • Protection of latch mechanisms inside of gasketed seal is suitable for outdoor use
  • Available with multiple choices of hand-, tool-, or key-operated actuator styles
  • Latch mechanisms offer adjustable grip dimensions to suit application

Available Options

  • Optional keepers are available to provide grip ranges from 15 mm (.59") to 30 mm (1.18")
  • Lift-handle actuator offers added option of padlock hasp to existing built-in locking mechanisms
  • Optional gaskets available for environmental or EMC sealing
