050-0450 Floating Striker Rotor Latch With Remote Linkage

This robust single rotor latch is designed for medium to heavy-duty applications for off highway entrance doors. It features a vertical clearance rotor for high vibration applications and an integrated linkage that allows for remote exterior paddle actuation and direct L handle inside release and provides for ease of mounting and applications.

Designed For

Medium to heavy weight doors for on or off-highway applications requiring resistance to vibration
Door thicknesses of 1-7/8" or greater (47.6 mm)
Door weights of 50-200 lbs. (23-91 kg)
Door seal pressures of 50-150 lbs. (suggested for best results)(23-68 kg)

Features/Benefits

Allows for ± .143 (3.63) strike travel from .789 (19.91) locating dimension
Ideal for applications with high vibration loading and where controlled travel between the latch and strike is characteristic of the application

Available

In left or right hand configurations (right hand shown)
With drive bar receiver parallel to striker bolt or rotated in 15° increments

Installation

Four 1/4-20 UNC grade 5 mounting fasteners (not included). Tighten to the fastener manufacturers' recommended torque value, however, do not exceed 120 in-lbs. (13 N-m)
Maximum .312 diameter mounting holes (7.9 mm)

Caution: Linkage does not comply with locking requirements of FMVSS 206.

Latch & Striker Installation

Install striker bolt in door frame
Close door carefully and check for interference between head of striker bolt and latch components
Add or remove shims under striker bolt washer as required (outside diameter of shim should be larger than outside diameter of striker bolt washer)
Adjust striker bolt vertically so door is not guided upward or downward while being closed
CHECK TO DETERMINE THAT BOTH SECONDARY AND PRIMARY LATCHING POSITIONS ARE USABLE
Door should be latched but not "closed" in secondary position and latched to anticipated "closed" position with respect to adjacent surfaces in primary position
If both primary and secondary positions are not evident, readjust striker bolt
After installation, check door alignment and door seal pressures

Latch complies with FMVSS 206 in primary and secondary latching positions when tested with approved TriMark striker bolts in accordance with SAE J839.
