3 Latches & Catches

In industrial hardware, latches and catches are mechanical fasteners used to keep doors, panels, lids, and drawers closed while still allowing them to be opened without damage.​Latches are holding mechanisms that use a movable element (such as a clasp, hasp, lever, or cam) which engages a keeper or strike on the mating surface; they require a deliberate action (lifting, turning, or pressing) to secure or release the closure, and are common on industrial cabinets, machine guards, and access panels where a more positive, sometimes high‑tension closure is needed.Catches hold doors or panels closed using forces such as magnetism, springs, friction, or ball/roller mechanisms instead of a pronounced moving clasp; they release simply by pulling or pushing the panel, and are widely used where frequent access is needed without a full latch or lock, from light industrial cabinetry to heavier doors when designed with higher holding force.
