Product Spotlight: Southco E3 – VISE ACTION Compression Latches

bisco is proud to now offer Southco’s VISE ACTION® compression latches. Southco’s VISE ACTION® series is designed for quick, secure closure in applications where vibration, sealing, and quality are required.

The smooth operation of the VISE ACTION® design aligns the pawl behind the frame and draws it up tight with a single continuous half-turn motion. Its compression action provides consistent 6.4 mm (.25″) pull-up for environmental sealing in gasketed applications, and helps reduce or eliminate noise and rattles caused by vibration. Over-center latching resists accidental opening due to shock or vibration. Actuators are styled to match other Southco access hardware and provide a consistent look when multiple styles are used in an application.
