Compression Latches

A compression latch is a fastening device that uses a cam or rotary mechanism to pull and hold a door or panel tightly against a seal, ensuring a secure, often weatherproof closure. Zephyr Secure’s compression latches are ideal for enclosures requiring a firm, consistent seal, and are available with keyed, keyless, or handled variants.

Draw Latches (Over-Center Latches)

A draw latch, also known as an over-center latch, is a fastener that uses a lever mechanism to create a strong clamping force between two surfaces. Zephyr Secure’s draw latches are commonly used in industrial and transportation applications where high vibration or movement could otherwise loosen a closure.

Magnetic & Mechanical Cabinet Catches

A cabinet catch is a simple, low-profile fastener that keeps doors and panels closed without a full locking mechanism. Magnetic catches use magnetic force for a smooth, quiet close, while mechanical catches rely on a physical latch mechanism for a more tactile, secure hold.

Applications Across Industries

Zephyr Secure’s heavy-duty drawer slides, latches, and catches are trusted across a wide range of industries and applications, including:

  • Transportation and Specialty Vehicles: Offering vibration-resistant fasteners that ensure panels and compartments remain secure on the move.
  • Marine and Boating: Providing corrosion-resistant, watertight seals for hatches and access panels exposed to harsh saltwater environments.
  • HVAC and Industrial Enclosures: Delivering durable, high-compression latches that guarantee airtight seals for efficiency and safety.
  • Medical Equipment and Devices: Supplying reliable and cleanable hardware for carts, cabinets, and diagnostic machines.
  • Telecommunications and IT Racks: Securing sensitive equipment with robust locking mechanisms for server cabinets and data centers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Zephyr Secure heavy-duty drawer slides support loads from 170 to 600 lb, depending on model and length. The Royal Series 7650 is rated for the highest capacity in the range.

Full-extension slides allow the drawer to pull completely clear of the cabinet for full access, while hole-mounted slides fasten through pre-drilled mounting points for faster, repeatable installation.

Disconnect slides let the drawer be lifted free of the slide rails without tools, which is useful for service trucks and utility vehicles where crews need fast field access or removal. Non-disconnect slides keep the drawer permanently mounted to the rails for a simpler, more secure installation. Contact our team to determine which option fits your application.

Lock-in/lock-out is a mechanism that holds the drawer securely in the closed (locked-in) or fully extended (locked-out) position, preventing it from rolling shut or closing accidentally during transport or use — a feature built into Zephyr Secure’s heavy-duty slides.

Yes. Zephyr Secure specializes in custom hardware design and manufacturing, working closely with clients to develop drawer slides, latches, and catches tailored to specific load, performance, size, and material requirements.
