Snap locks

Within our catalogue of snap locks is a range of standard components that combine excellent functionality with pleasing aesthetics.

For more than seven decades, Elesa have been dedicated to developing high-quality elements for use in the mechanical, machinery and industrial equipment sectors. Our sterling reputation is thanks to our use of expert knowledge and quality materials. We manufacture thousands of unique components across several categories. Whatever your industry, whatever your need, you will find the perfect product with Elesa.

In this latch range, we have utilised our expert knowledge and the following materials to make plastic and metal latch components for every environment:

  • Technopolymer
  • Die-cast zinc alloy

We are passionate about elevating the industry standard and using our design excellence to bring you the products you deserve. For this reason, you will find that our range features an Elesa patented BPS ball-shaped door lock to guarantee quality performance.


Ball catch

This element is comprised of a clamp for fixing to a frame, and a ball to be fixed to the door. The clamp has been specially designed and shaped to act as a mechanical stop device to the door movement. To ensure that this catch can withstand frequent use, we have tested it for more than 20,000 cycles through which it showed constant performance. This ball-shaped door lock can be used on shutter and sliding doors, where the profile thickness is of a minimum 15mm, and the distance between door and frame is 2.5mm and 3.5mm.


Ball-shaped door lock

Available in matt black or grey, this door lock is perfect for use on closing panels and doors that require frequent opening and closing. With a jamb body equipped with balls and springs, and a door body that engages laterally or frontally, this lock can be oriented in whichever position you require.


Snap door lock

These locks are available with a choice of release mechanisms: by lever, hexagonal key, or two-wing key. They are ideal for use on swing doors and are available in grey or black to suit your aesthetic. Our BMST version is compatible with T-slot profiles and can be opened by pulling a handle or knob or lifting a lever.


Elesa snap locks

Made using technopolymer and zinc alloy, this selection of locks are easy to assemble and perform excellently. Our CMS element integrates both functions of handle and snap lock into a single product. Products 315 and 315.1 feature a retaining pawl which is activated radially by a spring to allow the locking of the door.
