THE VERY THIN ONE – 0.375”/9.5mm FOR PARTITIONS, EXHIBITS, WINDOWS, HINGED AND SLIDING DOORS SCREENS, DISPLAYS, CASES, MODULAR ASSEMBLIES, SCENERY, ETC.  

SHOWN HERE IS A SINGLE HANDLE MOUNTING (OPERABLE FROM ONE SIDE ONLY) WITH A SMALL TYPE 2S LATCH MORTISED INTO THE DOOR • These illustrations show components and mounting dimensions •  

FOR DOOR APPLICATIONS WITH HANDLES ON BOTH SIDES • These illustrations show components and mounting dimensions •  

VERY THIN LATCHES AND RECEIVERS (3.75’/9.5MM) FOR THIN PANELED EXHIBITS, STORE FIXTURES AND DOORS THE SHORT R/S RECEIVER REQUIRES A MORTISE DEPTH OF ONLY .625’/16MM)  

THIS SHALLOW RECEIVER CAN BE MOUNTED FLUSH AND BLIND IN VERY THIN PANELS. RECEIVER DEPTH IS ONLY 3/8"(9.5mm)  

THIS SHALLOW RECEIVER CAN BE MOUNTED FLUSH AND BLIND IN VERY THIN PANELS. RECEIVER DEPTH IS ONLY 3/8"(9.5mm)  

THIS SHALLOW RECEIVER CAN BE MOUNTED FLUSH AND BLIND IN THIN PANELS. RECEIVER DEPTH IS ONLY 7/16" (11.1mm)  

ILLUSTRATING HOW THE LATCH/RECEIVER SEPARATION FOR GASKETING OR OTHER MATERIAL IS ACCOMMODATED BY CHOOSING THE PROPER ‘SETBACKS’  

SOME APPLICATIONS REQUIRE WIDESPREAD, TWO-POINT, SIMULTANEOUSLY OPERATED ATTACHMENT OF PANELING OR ELECTRICAL ENCLOSURES, ETC. With the Norse Fastener System this is quite feasible and several methods are available to accomplish it.  

NORSE LATCHES CAN BE ‘GANGED’ AND REMOTELY OPERATED SIMULTANEOUSLY FOR JOINING VERY THICK PANELS, OR ON OTHER APPLICATIONS REQUIRING SPACED-APART, TWO-POINT ATTACHMENT  

NORSE LATCHES CAN BE GANGED AND REMOTELY OPERATED, PROVIDING WIDESPREAD ATTACHMENT OF PANELING OR ELECTRICAL AND EQUIPMENT ENCLOSURES  

NORSE LATCHES CAN BE GANGED AND REMOTELY OPERATED, PROVIDING WIDESPREAD ATTACHMENT OF PANELING OR ELECTRICAL AND EQUIPMENT ENCLOSURES  

FOR APPLICATIONS REQUIRING ONE PANEL TO BE JOINED TO ANOTHER WHERE BOTH ARE TO BE SURFACE MOUNTED  

THE ROD RECEIVER CAN BE USED AT ALMOST ANY ‘SETBACK’ WITH ANY LATCH, PLUS PROVIDING OTHER ADVANTAGES  

SHOWN JOINING METAL COMPONENTS  

• GREAT FOR THIN SECTIONAL FLOORING • FOR APPLICATIONS REQUIRING HIGHER CLAMPING FORCE THAN THE S1125 SPRING HOOK ASSEMBLY, THE S1250 SPRING HOOK HAS BEEN ASSEMBLED INTO A MODIFIED TYPE 2S SMALL CASE  

  BASIC COMBINATIONS OF TYPE 2 LATCHES AND RECEIVERS  

  APPLICATIONS TYPE 2 LARGE LATCHES  

  Either the S1500 or the S1250 Spring Hook can be used in the Large Type 2 Latches  

The Type 2 Latch can have the Spring Hook mounted in reverse in the case (S1500-2R-750)  

    The variable 'Setbacks'* And Choices of Spring Hooks The S1500 or S1250 Spring Hook Can Be Used In the Type 2 Latches  

    The Variable 'Setbacks'* And Short & Slotted Case Configurations

Matching Type 2 Large Latches with Receivers | The Variable ‘Setbacks’* And Choice Of Spring Hooks  

SHOWN HERE IS A SINGLE HANDLE MOUNTING (OPERABLE FROM BOTH SIDES) WITH A LARGE TYPE 2 LATCH MORTISED INTO THE DOOR • These illustrations show components and mounting directions • For Dual Handles See TDS 83-10B  

FOR DOOR APPLICATIONS WITH HANDLES ON BOTH SIDES. • These illustrations show components and mounting directions • For Single Handle Assemblies See TDS 83-10A  

A TYPE 2R LATCH AND TYPE 2 RECEIVER ARE MOUNTED IN THICK FRAMING WITH FLANGES REVERSED  

ATTACHING THIN PANELS AT ‘T’ AND CORNER JOINTS. LATCH IS MOUNTED BEHIND FRAMING; ‘U’ RECEIVER IS SURFACE MOUNTED. WITH THIS LATCH/RECEIVER COMBINATION, EITHER PANEL CAN BE INVERTED.  

USED ON EXHIBITS, STORE FIXTURES, OFFICE PANELS, PREFAB STRUCTURES, ETC. THIS TYPE 2 LATCH AND ‘H’ RECEIVER ARE MOUNTED BEHIND THE PANEL FRAMING LESS PANEL PREPARATION • NO LATCH FLANGE RECESS REQUIRED • CAN BE NAILED IN PLACE  

USED ON EXHIBITS, STORE FIXTURES, OFFICE PANELS, PREFAB STRUCTURES, ETC. THIS TYPE 2 LATCH IS MOUNTED INSIDE THE METAL FRAMING. SLOT IN THE ADJOINING MEMBER IS USED AS A RECEIVER.  

THE THIN LATCH FOR JOINING THIN PANELS ON SECTIONAL FURNITURE, EXHIBITS, STORE FIXTURES, COUNTERS AND BARS, FLOORING, ETC.  

USED IN THIN WALL PARTITIONS FOR IN-LINE BUTT JOINTS AND ‘BLIND’ MORTISES AT ‘T’ & CORNER JOINTS For Prefab construction of Exhibits, Store Fixtures, Office Panels, Etc. This Latch/Receiver Combination is a Unique and Frequently Used Method  

THE TYPE 2 LATCH IS UNEXCELLED AS A CASE LATCH FOR EQUIPMENT ATTACHMENT, EQUIPMENT CASES, MODULAR UNIT COUPLING, COFFIN SEALING, PICKUP TRUCK CAMPER TIEDOWN, TRACTOR HOODS, WALL PANELING, ETC. The Type 2 Latch is shown below in a typical application joining thin metal elements where a slot in the metal is used as a receiver.  

THIS SHALLOW RECEIVER CAN BE MOUNTED FLUSH AND BLIND IN VERY THIN PANELS RECEIVER DEPTH IS ONLY 1/2" (12.7mm)  

FOR JOINING THIN PANELS TO THINNER WALL PANELS OR TUBING  

THIS SHALLOW RSL RECEIVER IS MOUNTED BELOW FLUSH IN A BLIND MORTISE IN A VERY THIN PANEL SO THAT A S1250--2-1.000 LATCH CAN BE USED By simply recessing the Type 2 RSL Receiver Mounting .062”/1.6mm the fabricator can maintain the use of a S1250-2-1.000 Latch in his panel as shown here.  

CHANGING THE ANGLE BETWEEN PANELS JOINED TO A TUBE IS FACILITATED BY WIDENING THE RECEIVER SLOTS IN THE TUBE AS SHOWN HERE In the Typical Example Shown Here, Panels of 1.750”/44.5mm Thickness Are Being Joined at an Initial Angle of 60°, With Some Angular Variation Required. A Tube Diameter of 3.500”/88.9mm and a Slot Width of 1.040”/26.4mm Accommodates the Panels and Allows Angular Displacement of Each Panel of ±10°. Other Tube Diameters and Slot Widths Can Be Used.  

JOINING PANELS - FREE STANDING, OR TO A WALL, AT VARIABLE ANGLES USING NORSE LATCHES AND ‘O’ & ‘OD’ RECEIVERS For: Exhibits • Office Landscaping • Store fixtures • Enclosures Museum • Theatrical & Window Displays • Safety Shields • Etc.  

JOINING MULTIPLE FREE STANDING PANELS AT VARIABLE ANGLES For: Exhibits • Office Landscaping • Store Fixtures • Stage Settings Museum & Art Displays • Safety Sheilds • Window Displays • Etc.  

JOINING PANELS – FREE STANDING, OR TO A WALL, AT VARIABLE ANGLES USING NORSE LATCHES AND ‘O’ & ‘OD’ RECEIVERS For: Exhibits • Office Landscaping • Store fixtures • Enclosures Museum • Theatrical & Window Displays • Safety Shields • Etc. For ‘O’ Rceivers See TDS 95-1A1  

THE LARGE ‘O’ AND ‘OD’ RECEIVERS CAN BE USED FOR EXHIBITS, STORE FIXTURES, MUSEUM AND ART DISPLAYS, OR FOR NUMEROUS PARTITIONING FUNCTIONS. ‘O’ and ‘OD’ Receivers can be used with Type 2 and Type 3 Latches as shown here and on the following pages. They can also be used with Type 1 Latches: see TDS 48.  

SHOWN HERE ARE THREE SIZES OF ‘O’ RECEIVERS WHICH WILL ACCOMMODATE NUMEROUS PANELS AT ANY ANGLE. TYPE 1 AND TYPE 3 LATCHES CAN ALSO BE USED WITH ‘O’ RECEIVERS. See TDS 48 for Type1 Latch and ‘O’ Receiver mounting.  

Shown below are two of many possible panel arrangements using Type 2 Latches with the OR250-3.5 and the OR250-2.38 ‘O’ Receivers. Type 1 and Type 3 Latches can also be used.
