A8 - Rod-Roller Compression Multi-Point Latching Systems


Overview
This rod-roller compression system is an excellent choice for longer doors with a wide range of frame or gasket variation, or those that require a moderate amount of compression. It is adaptable to a variety of standard Southco cam and compression latches to provide multi-point latching for added strength and security.

Product Features and Benefits
A roller design at the end of each rod provides for smooth operation and creates pull-up compression as it engages keeper or frame.

  • A complete system includes one latch/actuator, installation hardware package, two complete rod assemblies (including rod, adjustable rod guide, and fastening hardware) and two keepers (optional)
  • Two or three latching points controlled from a single point of actuation
  • Roller end can latch directly against frame or against an optional keeper
  • Provides up to 3 mm (.12") of consistent compression
  • Adjustable rod guides permit modification of frame grip and compression
  • Square profile of rods provides added strength
  • Keylock or padlock latch styles provide additional access security

Available Options
  • Rod assemblies are ordered individually, to custom length, so operating latch may be located at center or off-center of total door length
  • Optional keepers feature a slightly ramped surface, to make it easy to engage rollers
