The part of the door hardware which retracts with the turn of a knob or lever. When the door is closed, the latch projects into a hole provided in the strike, holding the door in a closed position.
This is a spring-loaded tongue which secures the door closed. Some types of latch have now been adapted to lock as well Lever This is the part inside the lock which is moved by the key. It allows the lock to be operated. Usually, more levers means higher security. Most insurance companies now require a 5 lever lock to be fitted to all external doors.
A bevelled, spring-loaded fastener that automatically engages as a door closes and is withdrawn by use of a key or handle.
Spring loaded part of the lock mechanism that protrudes into the latch hole on the door frame to hold or lock a door shut.
A bolt which is with drawn by the handle, not the key.
Moves in or out with the turn of the knob or lever and either allows the door to open or holds the door shut.
The mechanism that throws the bolt or secures the door when the door is closed.
A device which holds a door or window shut but can be released without the use of a key.
Also called latch mechanism or tubular latch, a latch in door hardware terms means a spring-loaded bolt that keeps a door closed, and is operated by turning a knob or lever. A latch is the most common means of keeping interior doors shut when closed. Latch bolts commonly have a beveled end so the door can be closed simply by pushing and without having to turn the knob or lever. A metal plate, or strike, is usually mortised into the door jamb or inactive door to receive the latch bolt. (See Drop Latch.)
1.A bar with a catch and lever used as a fastening for a gate. 2. A spring-lock requiring a key to pass from the outside.
A beveled metal tongue operated by a spring-loaded knob or lever. The tongue's bevel lets you close the door and engage the locking mechanism, if any, without using a key. Contrasts with dead bolt.
The mechanism that grabs a striker to hold a door closed.

latch is an internal Oracle mechanism used to protect data structures in the SGA from simultaneous access. Atomic hardware instructions like TEST-AND-SET are used to implement latches. Latches are more restrictive than locks in that they are always exclusive. Latches are never queued, but will spin or sleep until it obtains a resource or times out. Latches are important for performance tuning.
The mechanism that uses friction to keep a cabinet door close.
A latch is a type of mechanical hardware, specifically a fastener, that is used to join two (or more) objects or surfaces together while allowing for the regular or eventual separation of the objects or surfaces.
