What sizes are available in the AS-700 series over centre fasteners?
The AS-700 series comes in three sizes: AS-701, AS-702, and AS-703. Each is a step up in body size and matching catch plate. All three are available in padlocking stainless steel, with the matching catch plate included.
What is the difference between the AS-700 series and the K210 heavy duty fastener?
The AS-700 series are compact toggle-style fasteners suited to toolboxes, enclosures, and equipment cases. The K210 is a larger, heavy-duty bolt-on over centre fastener at 210mm. It's built for heavy-duty industrial applications such as truck bodies, large access hatches, and industrial equipment where a longer lever arm and greater clamping force are needed.
Are there non-padlocking versions of the over centre fasteners?
The non-locking variants of the AS-701, AS-702, and AS-703 fasteners are available in the broader Latches category rather than this subcategory. If you don't need padlock capability, those are a lower-cost alternative. The K210 is also a non-locking over centre fastener. Browse the full Latches range to compare non-locking options across all sizes and finishes.
What are draw latch slam locks and how do they differ from standard over centre fasteners?
The draw latch slam lock (165mm, three finish options) combines the over-centre clamping action with a slam-engagement function. This activates the latch automatically when the door closes, without needing to manually push the bail over centre. This makes them well-suited to applications with very frequent access.
What is the dust filter clip toggle latch used for?
The dust filter clip toggle latch is a compact over centre design specifically suited to securing dust filter frames, drawer fronts, and panel access covers. It functions as a drawer over-centre fastener and is also used on filter housings in industrial equipment.
Can I order these online and are they available in-store?
