The use of a Rod Receiver in combination with a Type 3 Latch offers a simple and economical way to join members such as 2x4s. The Rod Receiver is the least expensive and most easily installed receiver. It can also be used with any Norse Latch. The setback of the Latch can vary to accommodate application requirements.
Locating, drilling and installing the Rod Receiver can actually be done when the panel members are about to be put together. In certain applications this can be highly advantageous.
