Rotary Latch
Engineered to provide reliable locking performance
Designed for motorhomes, trailers, and caravans, our RV rotary latches combine durability, anti-vibration structure, and easy operation to secure your vehicle compartments under all conditions.
RV Rotary Latch Overview
The RV Rotary Latch is a compact and robust locking mechanism that uses a rotating claw and striker system to achieve secure closure and smooth release. Its design ensures consistent locking strength even under vibration, shock, or outdoor exposure—making it ideal for recreational vehicles (RVs), service vans, and mobile equipment.
Each latch is manufactured with zinc alloy or stainless steel to deliver excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical durability. The latch can be configured for keyed or non-keyed operation, supporting both manual and remote cable actuation.
Vibration-Resistant Structure
The rotary claw and striker mechanism provides stable engagement, preventing accidental opening caused by vibration or impact — ideal for RVs and off-road vehicles.
Corrosion-Resistant Materials
Built from zinc alloy or stainless steel, each latch offers long-term resistance to rust, salt spray, and moisture, ensuring reliable operation in all weather conditions.
Compact and Easy to Install
Its compact form factor fits diverse mounting positions with minimal installation space, supporting both surface and flush mounting options.
Customizable Locking Options
Available in keyed, keyless, or remote cable-actuated configurations, the latch can be adapted to your specific RV, trailer, or industrial design needs.

Manufacturing & Quality Assurance
For RV Push Locks, buyers need confidence that the product can withstand heavy use and outdoor conditions. This section outlines the manufacturing process and quality checks that ensure consistency and reliability.
Manufacturing Process
Our locks are engineered for a straightforward, drop-in installation. Follow this simple 3-step guide to confirm compatibility and see how easy the process is.
Material Selection
High-strength hardened steel or alloy steel is sourced from certified suppliers. Each batch is tested for tensile strength and corrosion resistance before production.
Precision Machining
CNC machining ensures accurate dimensions of lock pins, shank diameters, and coupler interfaces. This minimizes tolerance errors and guarantees smooth operation across different hitch sizes.
Surface Treatment
Anti-corrosion coatings (zinc plating, black powder coating, or stainless finishing) are applied to protect against rust and harsh weather exposure.
Assembly & Lock Cylinder Integration
Each unit is fitted with keyed or push-to-lock cylinders, assembled in dust-controlled environments to prevent contamination.
Quality Assurance
Cycle Testing
Each lock model is tested for over 5,000 locking/unlocking cycles to verify long-term durability.Salt Spray Test
Surface coatings are tested for 72–96 hours in a salt spray chamber, simulating prolonged outdoor exposure.Keyway Reliability
Lock cylinders undergo repeated key insertion and torque tests to ensure consistent operation.Dimensional Checks
100% inspection for pin diameter and coupler fitment tolerance to ensure compatibility with standard 1-7/8”, 2”, and 2-5/16” trailer couplers.
