Versatile tongue latches for industrial locking solutions
Tongue latches aren’t a locking solution on their own, but are actually a component used in locking mechanisms such as Drop T locks. The tongue latch is the internal component that secures the lock in its shut position.
Ovesco’s trade-quality tongue latches can be used to replace or upgrade the latches in your existing locks to improve their functionality, reliability and safety. Our latches come in a variety of sizes, and so are compatible with a range of lock mechanisms. Their zinc-plated steel and die-cast alloy finishes ensure maximum abrasion resistance for a long-lasting lock.
