Customized Excellence for Specific Needs

Our commitment to customized solutions is evident in our passenger door latch systems used on sliding doors, such as those on the SH-60, S-70, and Bell 525 aircraft. These latching systems include hooks, bolts, and D-ring actuators for added security. Locking latches are available, and our innovative locksets allow customers to key all secure doors with a single code.



Dynamic Multi-Point Systems

Our systems enable one or two internal door handles for passengers to effortlessly lock and open the door from inside the aircraft. These internal handles are synchronized with exterior handles and linked to bolting points via actuation rods and bell cranks. The system's design accounts for fore and aft movement of the door during operation, as well as translational movement during the initial phase of locking or unlocking.
