Latches, Locks

Latches and locks are devices that are used to secure boxes, enclosures, or racks, and to prevent unauthorized access or tampering. Latches are mechanical fasteners that are used to hold a door, lid, or other movable part of a box or enclosure in place. They typically consist of a latch body that is attached to the door or lid, and a latch keeper that is attached to the box or enclosure. When the door or lid is closed, the latch body engages with the latch keeper to hold it in place. Latches can be opened and closed by hand, or they can be operated by a key or other mechanism. Locks, on the other hand, are devices that are used to prevent unauthorized access to a box, enclosure, or rack. Locks typically consist of a lock body that is attached to the door or lid, and a lock mechanism that is operated by a key or other device. When the lock is engaged, it prevents the door or lid from being opened, unless the correct key or other device is used. Locks are commonly used in applications where the security and protection of the contents of the box, enclosure, or rack is important.
