REDUCING ROTATION NEEDED TO OPERATE
A Standard Feature of All ‘S’ Series Latches Allows The Amount Of Rotation Of The Operating Key Or
Handle To Be Reduced Considerably From The Normal, Where The Application Requires It.
By Installing The Pre-Cocking Rivet As Shown, The Required Rotation Can Be Reduced To As Little As 135°, This Does Reduce The ‘Over Reach’, and leaves the Spring
Hook Protruding. Radial Orientation Of The Key (Or Handle), Is Optional, as Application Requires – A Type 1 Latch Is Shown –

The Norse Latch locks upon itself
after contacting The Receiver,
independent of the Latch Case
orientation relative to the
Receiver,as shown in Fig. 8.
This capability is true of Latch
Types 1, 2, & 3.
Two or more Norse Latches can be ‘Ganged’,
and /or operated in various ways; remotely, by
hex. Keys, Wrenches, via gear boxes, or by a vari-
ety of handles which are available.
