Flight case surface-mounted latch with pad-lockable M804
The flight case surface mount latch M804 has the same external dimensions as the M803, with an overall length of 68mm and a width of 72mm. However, the M804 is equipped with a nose-like keyhole that adds a locking feature to the connector for enhanced security.
This latch has two large springs on either side that resemble butterfly wings, which is why many people call it a butterfly lock or twist lock. The deadbolt of this deadbolt is made of durable cold-rolled iron with a thickness of 2.5 to 3.0 mm. The design of the lock tongue can achieve quick locking and unlocking, and the function and structure are relatively simple and convenient.
Similar to M803, it is suitable for all types of flight cases, cosmetic cases, music equipment cases, plastic cases, and heavy-duty cases.
The working principle of the latch
The latch operates using a complex spring-loaded mechanism that engages and disengages smoothly. When in the closed position, the spring pushes the latch firmly into the flap, effectively sealing the door or lid. To unlock, the user simply turns the key or presses a button or lever, releasing the spring tension and allowing the latch to move away from the strike plate. This door lock is designed for durability and reliability to withstand repeated use and exposure to the elements. Its cold-rolled iron construction ensures strength and resilience, while large springs ensure a tight and secure fit. The deadbolt is designed for quick and easy locking and unlocking, providing a convenient and versatile solution for a variety of applications. In summary, the Flight Case Surface Mount Latch M804 is a simple yet highly effective locking mechanism that enhances the security and convenience of a variety of cases and containers.
