GN 115.8 Cam Latches with Hook Zinc Die-Cast Housing, Operation with Socket Key

For installation of the cam latch, create a bore in the door, cover or hatch as shown in the outline drawing.

The installation bore in the door leaf is usually generated by punching or laser machining during a mass production run.

The installation bore can also be created by drilling or milling as shown in the outline drawings.

For small production runs and steel sheets below 2 mm thickness, Sheet Metal Punches GN 123 are the tool of choice.

The hook can only be attached to the latch after installing the lock housing in the door leaf.

The bolt diameter may be shifted by ± 5 mm, making it easier to adapt the latching mechanism to the installation site.

When latched, the bolt is ideally positioned at the level of the axis of rotation as shown. A sideways offset of as much as 4 mm does not impair the proper function.

The angle of rotation of the hook is normally limited to 90°. Depending on the mounting of the contact pin which is supplied unassembled, the latching action is effected by turning left or right. Without the contact pin, the hook can be rotated by 360°.
