Uniseg Products has finalised the design on its new “Mil-Spec” range of Snap-Flat latches and has placed an order with its manufacturer. We expect limited samples to be available by October and stock to be delivered by January 2025.
The “Mil-Spec” design, features a reverse spring configuration compared to the common direction springs of the previous versions. The arrangement offers superior protection against accidental disengagement of the Catch Arm and the Catch Plate (hook).
Other improved features include a low profile making it suitable for protective case products, no metal on metal contact between the base and the handle and long life ‘non-wear’ spring design. It also features 4 easily accessible holes that enable the latch to be readily installed by either pop rivet or bolt/screw.
The “Mil-Spec” Snap-Flat latches will be produced in 3 different sizes, small, medium & large (M6, M8 & M10) and will be a direct replacement for the Ojop and other latch brands. The latch and corresponding catch (hook) will be offered in stainless steel or mild-steel with silver or black nickel coatings.
The Snap-Flat latch 2 major benefits, that it remains flat when dis-engaged and won’t accidently un-couple when engaged, make it ideal for applications when the item being secured will be transported or moved (i.e. pop-top caravan, cargo boxes or cases, utility vehicles etc).
