Bolt Latches

Bolt latches, also called crossbar latches, are the most basic type of latch. These latches use a physical object - called the post, or bolt - to restrict the movement of a door, providing a simple solution that's virtually foolproof. Commonly specified by original equipment manufacturers for a variety of applications, bolt latches have a long history due to their reliability, simplicity and functionality. At SPEP, we manufacture bolt latches for virtually every industry and equipment type, including:

• Truck bolt latches
• Trailer bolt latches
• RV bolt latches
• Spray booth bolt latches
• Bus bolt latches
• Crate bolt latches

In its simplest form, a bolt latch consists of a bolt supported by cleats mounted on a door and a neighboring wall. To lock the door, the bolt slides across from the wall and through a cleat, preventing the door from opening. The original bolt latch design has evolved over its long history of use, providing modern industrial bolt latches with expanded functionality in various formats, all derivatives of the original concept used to secure doors in a wide variety of industrial applications.
