Southco has developed a series of modular, push-to-close latches that offer easy and intuitive closing in both single-point and two-point latching installations, providing an ideal solution for a variety of applications including kiosks, according to a company press release.

• Easy installation with a single hole and single mounting nut.
• Available in numerous actuation and dimensional options.
