The A2/A7 Over-Center Lever Latches from Southco combine strength, simple installation and ease of operation in a rugged lever-action design built for heavy-duty gasketed doors. Their integrated latch and handle assembly uses over-center toggle action to maintain secure closure and resist accidental opening caused by shock or vibration.

Engineered to deliver strong mechanical advantage, the single-motion opening action applies built-in leverage against the keeper - helping to pry open stuck or tightly sealed doors with ease. These latches provide consistent gasket compression to dampen vibration and reduce noise and rattle in demanding environments.

Externally mounted for minimal internal hardware space requirements, the A7 style features concealed rear-mount fastening for a clean exterior appearance. Long, industrial-strength handles ensure a comfortable grip during operation, while an included shim with each A2 assembly allows adjustment of the keeper’s latching plane when needed. Ideal for heavy equipment, industrial enclosures and transportation applications, the A2/A7 Series offers dependable strength and performance where it matters most.
