Sprung Toggle Latches

Secure your equipment, containers and enclosures with our professional-grade sprung toggle latches. Also known as spring toggle latches, these high-performance fastening solutions combine the reliability of traditional toggle latches with the added benefits of spring-loaded mechanisms for enhanced performance and ease of use.

Manufactured from polished 304 stainless steel, our toggle latches are built to withstand the demands of industrial, commercial and marine environments. The integrated spring mechanism provides consistent tension, accommodates minor vibrations and shocks, whilst ensuring secure closure even in challenging conditions.

What Makes Sprung Toggle Latches Special

Unlike standard toggle latches, our sprung versions feature built-in spring mechanisms that provide several key advantages:

• Assisted closing: Springs help pull the latch into the closed position, ensuring consistent engagement
• Vibration resistance: Spring tension maintains secure closure even when subjected to movement and vibration
• Shock absorption: Springs accommodate minor shifts between the latch and catch plate
• Consistent pressure: Maintains compression force for better sealing and security

Every sprung toggle latch is manufactured from high-grade 304 stainless steel with a polished finish, providing:

• Exceptional corrosion resistance for marine and outdoor applications
• Superior strength and durability for heavy-duty industrial use
• Professional appearance suitable for visible installations
• Resistance to chemicals, oils, grease and solvents

Available Types

Our standard spring toggle latches feature traditional hook-and-catch plate design with spring assistance for enhanced performance. Perfect for boxes, containers, access panels and safety guards where reliable, quick-release fastening is essential.

Designed with an angled claw end instead of a traditional hook, these latches catch onto existing features, edges or lips rather than requiring a separate catch plate. Ideal for applications where mounting space is limited or where the catch plate cannot be easily installed.

Feature adjustable spring tension to accommodate different compression requirements and varying gap tolerances. Particularly suited for equipment susceptible to movement, vibration or thermal expansion.

Include integrated padlock mounting points for additional security. Perfect for applications requiring both quick access and the ability to secure against unauthorised entry.

• Agricultural sector: Equipment covers, feed bins, machinery access panels and storage containers

Installation & Operation

Toggle latches mount easily using the pre-drilled holes in both the latch body and catch plate. Simply align with your application, mark the hole positions, drill pilot holes and secure with appropriate bolts or screws.

To operate, simply lift the toggle handle to disengage the latch. The spring mechanism assists with both opening and closing actions. When closing, the springs help pull the latch into full engagement for maximum security.

Choosing the Right Sprung Toggle Latch

• Load requirements: Select based on the holding force needed (40kg-100kg range available)
• Environment: All our stainless steel construction suits indoor, outdoor and marine applications
• Access needs: Choose lockable versions where security is important
• Space constraints: Claw latches work where catch plates cannot be fitted
• Vibration levels: Variable spring types best for high-vibration applications

Quality & Standards

All our sprung toggle latches are manufactured to exacting standards using premium materials and precision engineering. The polished 304 stainless steel construction meets marine, food industry and pharmaceutical standards whilst providing exceptional longevity in demanding applications.
