Cable Latch Systems

Advantages Over Rigid Linkages: Flexible – can be routed around

obstructions & still operates after damage that would permanently bend a rigid linkage.

Remote placement of actuation handle, not limited to straight line from handle.

Ability to control latches in different locations from one handle.

Features: Single, Double or Triple Cable Systems.

Adjustability: Plunger Pin distance from striker plate can be adjusted forward or back, as needed. Side-to-side adjustability using a slotted striker plate opening.

Stand-alone mating striker plates, or striker detail can be stamped directly into side rail.

Glassmaster Controls Cable Latch Systems: Drawer applications: Allows locking/unlocking at multiple locations along drawer travel.

Hinged door applications: Allows door locking/unlocking at closed and/or open positions. Use with gas springs for trunk-like operation.

Glassmaster Cable Latch Systems have been in use for over 20 years for trucking, automotive, and marine applications.
