Description
Heavy-Duty Weatherproof Compression Action
Secure your trailer utility compartments and toolboxes with the commercial-grade Cottrell Car Hauler Compression Latch (Cottrell Part Number: LATCH M1-20-31-48 / Manufactured by Southco). This medium-sized flush-pull mechanism provides a high-performance alternative to standard exterior handles. Engineered to pull structural doors tightly against their frames, it establishes an airtight, watertight seal that actively dampens harsh road vibrations and eliminates persistent noise or rattle while hauling vehicles.
Premium Marine-Grade Construction
Built to survive unrelenting over-the-road environments and corrosive salt exposure, this non-locking latch is forged entirely from 316 marine-grade stainless steel. The exterior surface features an electropolished finish for advanced protection against pitting, surface rust, and industrial chemical staining.
Key Features:
Optimized Grip Capability: Provides a highly adjustable, broad-ranging grip profile spanning from 27mm to 40mm (1.06 to 1.57 inches) or 51mm to 64mm (2.00 to 2.52 inches).
Door Panel Compatibility: Designed to fit securely into utility panels and storage doors featuring a thickness range from 2mm up to 12mm (0.075 to 0.475 inches).
Effortless Mechanical Operation: Intuitive lift-and-turn configuration allows operators to pull the integrated handle to instantly release compression, rotating the internal pawl completely clear of the trailer frame.
Pre-Assembled Weather Gasket: Package comes out of the box equipped with a heavy-duty, integrated rubber sealing gasket for immediate drop-in replacement on Cottrell car carriers and transport trailers.
