Wing Turn Draw Latches or “Butterfly” Latches, as they are sometimes called, offer the same latching capabilities as a spring compression latch but use a turning motion to cam the catch in place. In addition, the hinged base accommodates a certain amount of off-plane latching. FabTech offers the Wing Turn Draw Latch most commonly used on “shoe box cover” type enclosures. Also, available is a long slide version which can be used with a special strike to convert “NEMA” 3R enclosures from screws to latches. The catch and strike may be installed using rivets or screws or may be welded into position.
