Rod latch / pull-up latch

[RobWard]

Please forgive me if this is the wrong forum, but can anyone point me in the right direction for a pull up latch / rod latch supplier in the UK?

I'm building a walk-in oven and I need some latches for the doors: the sort that latch at the top and bottom and "pull" the door shut tight when you turn/pull a lever handle. They need to be pretty heavy duty, not the internal sort that you'd use on an electrical cabinet.
I've searched the internet without success, but I could simply not know the correct name for that sort of latch.

If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd be very grateful.

All of the 12 ovens we have use this type latch and just checked there is no name in the parts list for the ovens other than door latch.

The latches are the same as truck cargo door latches so your best bet would be check with someone who deals with truck parts. The only difference is that the ovens use a different gasket.

Thank you very much for looking, unclesyd.
I had wondered about truck locks. I'll have to try to Google for some "truck door latches" or similar.

Thanks again,


Rob

I design ovens and use latches from these folks, not in UK though:
