EMKA's new catalogue of Ingenious Locking Technology for the Railroad Industry includes many new approaches to the specific needs of rail installers. The Program 1057 flush-mounting quarter-turn latch is one such item. Designed for rear fitting to door panels of 3.5 to 21mm thickness and to present a very neat flush and vandal-resistant face, this lock is partnered with its sister Program 1000 IP65 stainless steel compression latch for mounting in the same way.
Rear-mounted latches of this type present an especially clean aspect while offering little purchase to vandals.
In particular, the stainless steel compression version also provides a high degree of vibration proofing to prevent nuisance opening under difficult conditions. Gasket compression is an industry standard 6mm and a visual position indicator is provided for easy verification of status.
