Reliable Sealing Is More Than Just a Seal

Effective protection against dust, water and vibration comes from multiple components working together.

Locks help maintain closure pressure. Seals help close the gap. Hinges maintain alignment. Gas struts support controlled movement. Fasteners help add tension where required.

When these products are specified together, vehicle bodies, canopies and service vehicles can be built for better long term performance.

Dust Ingress

Poor sealing can allow dust and contaminants into vehicle bodies, canopies and storage compartments.

Water Ingress

Gaps, worn seals and inconsistent compression can lead to leaks in wet conditions.

Door Movement

Incorrect hardware combinations can create rattles, vibration and alignment issues.

Premature Wear

Components work harder when locks, seals, hinges and struts are not properly matched.

Compression Locks Help Maintain Sealing Pressure

Compression locks are commonly used where secure closure and consistent sealing pressure are required across canopy doors, service bodies, toolboxes and vehicle compartments.

When paired with the right seal profile, compression locks can help reduce rattling, movement and exposure to dust or water.
