Southco Pop-Out Knob Latch w/Fixed Grip Threaded Body - Black Plastic

The Southco Pop-Out Knob Latch with Fixed Grip Threaded Body in Black Plastic is a compact, low-profile clamping solution designed for equipment enclosures, access panels, and modular systems where quick, tool-free operation is required. Built from ABS plastic with a natural finish and black appearance, this threaded latch combines accessibility with secure fastening across a wide range of panel thicknesses.

This pop-out knob latch accommodates panels from 1.200 to 19.000 mm (0.05 to 0.75 inches) in thickness, making it suitable for thin composite materials, aluminum frames, and standard sheet metal enclosures. The fixed grip design eliminates rotation during operation, ensuring consistent engagement and disengagement cycles. Installation uses a threaded body and nut configuration, allowing flush or recessed mounting depending on application requirements. The low-profile design minimizes protrusion, important in space-constrained installations or where snag hazards must be avoided.

This latch is ideal for equipment manufacturers, system integrators, and field technicians who need repeatable, no-tool access to panels without sacrificing security. ABS plastic construction provides corrosion resistance and lightweight performance, while the unrestricted access mechanism allows operation from any orientation. Common applications include tactical gear storage systems, transport cases, industrial cabinets, and vehicle-mounted equipment where frequent access and reliability matter.

Southco is recognized for precision latching solutions across aerospace, defense, industrial, and commercial markets. The M1-2A-13-5 specification represents a proven design optimized for moderate clamping force and durability in high-cycle environments. Part number CW67310 ensures consistent sourcing and replacement compatibility.
