About Push-to-Close Latches
More
Vibration-Resistant Grab Latches
Their spring-loaded design withstands vibration, rattling, and shaking better than other push-to-close grab latches for a more secure hold. These latches automatically hold doors shut when you push them closed. They meet UL 94 HB for flammability.
The mortise-mount latches fit into a cutout (mortise) to mount flush with doors. They press in without tools, making them fast and easy to install. However, they only fit a cutout shape that matches the latch.

Style 1 and Style 2 latches will self-extinguish in the event of a fire. They also meet UL standards for flammability. Style 2 latches have a mechanism you can push in the handle that temporarily keeps the latch open. This is helpful when you have multiple latches that are spaced apart on one door. It lets you keep all the latches open at the same time without needing to hold them with your fingers.
Style 3 latches meet strict EN 61373 vibration standards, so they resist vibration to keep doors from accidentally opening.
