Sealed Lever Latch
The Sealed Lever Latch is a mechanical device that uses the lever principle to achieve the locking and unlocking functions of the door and has sealing performance. It is usually composed of a lever, a lock tongue, a spring, a base, a gasket and other components. When the lever is operated, the movement of the lever drives the lock tongue to move, thereby locking or unlocking the door, while the gasket and other components ensure the sealing between the door and the door frame Fornd sealed lever door lock provides a more fashionable option that can achieve compression sealing and simple spacing adjustment.

Streamlined appearance and simplified operation make this compression door lock an ideal choice because highly exposed installations require a safe, sealed setting. The compression movement pulls the door tight to avoid friction and wear of the latch or door frame. Push the button to eject the handle for use in NEMA 4 and IP-66 applications, when installed with an optional edge gasket. The installation parts are suitable for various door thicknesses. The adjustable screws and stop nuts with threads provide the necessary space adjustment that changes with time. The rubber washer type can provide better compression function and reduce vibration, wear and noise. The embedded installation design that is simple to install into rectangular holes makes us unable to see the protruding fasteners.

What Is a Sealed Lever Latch?
A sealed lever latch is a compression-type door locking mechanism that uses a lever and cam motion to pull the door panel tightly against the frame.
It provides:
Compression sealing to prevent dust, water and contaminants
Smooth lever operation for easy opening and closing
Adjustable grip range to compensate for panel tolerances
Gasket sealing to meet NEMA 4 / IP-66 environmental requirements
Reduced vibration & noise when installed on machinery or vehicles
What are the advantages of sealed lever latch?
Good sealing: It can effectively prevent dust, water, etc. from entering, ensuring the cleanliness and safety of the internal environment.
Easy operation: Usually only a simple lever action is required to complete locking and unlocking, which is convenient and quick.
Simple structure: Compared with some complex locking devices, the structure of the sealed lever door lock is relatively simple and the cost is low.
High reliability: When installed and used correctly, it can work stably and is not prone to failure.
What are the disadvantages of sealed door compression latch?
Limited safety: For some occasions with high safety requirements, a simple sealed lever door lock may not be enough and needs to be used in conjunction with other safety devices.
Limited load-bearing capacity: When subjected to large external forces or vibrations, looseness or failure may occur. It is necessary to select a sealed lever door lock of appropriate specifications according to the specific application scenario.
