Southco Compression Latch w/Pop-Out Knob - Non-Locking - Low Profile

The Southco Compression Latch with Pop-Out Knob is a non-locking, low-profile fastening solution designed for automotive fabrication, engine bay modifications, and custom body panel applications. This latch is ideal for enthusiasts and professionals looking to build custom hoods, secure air intake ducting, or fasten engine covers on modified vehicles.

Featuring a pop-out knob mechanism, this compression latch provides reliable, tool-free access while minimizing visual bulk compared to traditional hinges or latches. Its low-profile design reduces standoff height, making it suitable for applications where space is limited, such as underhood packaging or aerodynamic considerations.

Enthusiasts and fabricators benefit from the quick-access functionality of this latch, particularly when working on modular air filtration systems or intake manifold guards. The latch's design ensures secure engagement under load, allowing for easy release by hand without the need for keys or special tools.
