T Handle Lock
The T Handle Locks require only a 1/4 turn to operate, offering quick and easy access with a high-torque T-handle drive mechanism. The flexible latch mechanism provides a secure hold, minimizing vibration and deflection. Fornd specializes in manufacturing durable and high-quality T Handle Locks. Customization options are available based on customer requirements, including various materials such as steel, plastic, and Stainless Steel, as well as different sizes, designs, and functional options.

Standards and Specifications
The T Handle Locks feature a straightforward design with single-hole installation and a single fixing nut for easy mounting.
The pre-assembled design simplifies installation in applications where the spacing exceeds the panel thickness.
The latch is installed with a single screw at the end of the drive bolt.
Stainless Steel T Handle Latches offer multiple offset latch options to meet different security requirements.
The inclined surface of the rotating latch provides approximately 2 mm (.08") of compression upon closure, accommodating a wide range of door lock spacings.
The push-to-close T Handle Locks can freely rotate from the closed position when they contact the door frame or retainer. A complete spring-loaded cam returns to the engagement position when the cam leaves the retainer.
The low-profile T Handle Latches series offers a smooth conical head type.
The standard series T Handle Locks provide more head types, environmental sealing, and spring-loaded lock bodies for optimal spacing tolerance and vibration resistance.
