The idea of quick access is an increasingly common paradigm in our modern way of life, even in the simplest of day-to-day tasks. Quick and easy access to all that we want to do gives us a feeling of satisfaction as well as gives us the time we need to do even the simplest of things in the best way possible. SOUTHCO latches help meet this subconscious need we seek to rationalize each and every day, from a simple latch for a closet door or the glove box of our car to the games our children play and the multimedia devices in our homes, and even the comfort we feel in our various modes of transport. Wherever we go, a well-designed latch makes our lives easier and reduces the cost of access over time, both in our personal lives and in industrial applications where cost analyses needs to demonstrate the cost effectiveness of processes and the technical reliability of the components being used.
