COCK IT BEFORE YOU LOCK IT

WHEN LOCKING LATCH, FIRST ROTATE IT AWAY FROM THE RECEIVER, AGAINST THE BACK OF THE CASE UNTIL IT STOPS; THIS EXTENDS THE SPRING HOOK, PROVIDING 'OVERREACH' FOR LOCKING.

SEE TDS 1 FOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

INTERNAL MOUNTING
When mounted internally and operated thru an access hole, obviously the latch is hidden and your product's aesthetics are improved; also, latch damage from abuse and tampering is greatly reduced. For sealed latches see TDS 25.

Locking/unlocking latch takes 3/4 turns* of the operating key (hook will retract fully into case). Latch may be operated from either side.

Usually surface mounted outside or inside a panel, they can be recessed flush – see TDS 44; for "ganged" latches see TDS 46.

THIS IS A LARGE TYPE 1L LATCH (LEFT HAND)
For Large Type 1R Latches (Right Hand), see TDS 36-4; Small Type 1L Latches are also available: see TDS 16.
