New Lever Latch from Southco Features Visual Access Indicator

HONG KONG, CHINA – Media OutReach – 6 June
2019 – Southco Asia Ltd., a subsidiary of Southco Inc., a leading global
provider of engineered access solutions such as locks, latches, captive
fasteners, electronic access solutions and hinges/ positioning technology, has added a new version to its successful C2
Lever Latch product line that provides the same consistent compression and
vibration resistance as the standard C2 series, but features a color coded
access indicator that allows the user to see if the latch has been opened.

C2 Lever Latch with Visual
Access Indicator

The C2 Lever Latch with Visual Access
Indicator features a small, color coded window that can be viewed to monitor
latch status. When the window shows green, the latch has not been opened since
it was last reset. If the latch is opened, the window will turn from green to
red, signaling that the latch has been actuated. The indicator remains red in
subsequent opening or actuation. The red indicator can be reset back to green
with a simple 90 degree turn of the tool recess security key.

Designed for simple, one handed operation,
the C2 series features a flush mounted design and a built in handle. The C2
series delivers high mechanical performance and compensates for misalignment,
delivering a robust cycle life. Additionally, the C2 with Visual Access
Indicator can be installed in the same panel prep as the current C2 series,
simplifying application upgrades, and is available with key or tool locking
options for increased security. Further, the new C2 comes with an integrated
bumper to provide scratch-free engagement with frame to protect its decorated
or coated finish

Global Product Manager Loc Tieu adds, “The C2
Lever Latch with Visual Access Indicator offers the same consistent operation
as our standard C2 series, but provides the added benefit of visually
monitoring latch status. By allowing the end user to see if the latch has been
actuated, the C2 Lever Latch with Visual Access Indicator saves the end user
unnecessary time spent opening the enclosure to verify the enclosure contents.”
