Southco is one of the leading names in engineered access hardware, and the C7 series is a well-known flexible draw latch used across marine, industrial, enclosure, equipment, and outdoor applications. This listing is for a genuine Southco C7-10-15 Soft Draw Latch in black rubber, offered as new old stock. This is the latch body only; keeper and mounting screws/rivets are not included.
The Southco C7 flexible over-center draw latch series is valued for its smooth, low-profile appearance and soft thermoplastic elastomer construction, which helps quiet vibration and maintain reliable closure even when panels are slightly misaligned. Manufacturer specifications for the small C7 style include non-corrosive materials, black thermoplastic elastomer latch body, glass-filled nylon link/bushings, and a steady-state clamp force of approximately 49 N / 11 lbf at recommended mounting dimensions. The latch uses an internally mounted lever for over-center mechanical advantage and helps protect against accidental opening. Approximate package dimensions commonly listed for C7-10-15 are 7 in. x 4 in. x 1 in., with an approximate weight of 0.2 lb.
Excellent choice for boat hatch hardware, marine cabinet latch replacement, access panel hardware, RV compartments, electronics enclosures, and vibration-prone equipment covers. Condition is NOS: unused old stock with possible light shelf wear to packaging from storage. Please confirm your keeper style and mounting dimensions before purchase.
