Safety Latches by Material

Pressure release safety latches prevent pressure buildup and are used to create explosion venting and pressure relief doors in operating environments where there is a risk of implosion or explosion.  Release latches are also used to create a breakaway door in non-pressurized applications and are often used in conjunction with alarm systems. Typical door safety latch applications include:

Door Safety Release Latches for Preventing Implosion and Explosion

Brixon door safety release latches are a reliable backup solution that works even when a loss of power causes other systems to fail. Our Factory Mutual (FM) approved latches easily adjust with the turn of a screwdriver or Allen wrench and can be adjusted from as low as .01 PSI to pressure more than 3,000 pounds per door using linked door safety latches. We provide pressure release latches to fit on almost any door. All models, except for Series 2 and 91, have linking capabilities for actuation with a single handle.
 
Material options for our safety release latches include cast steel, cast aluminum, cast iron, spark-proof brass, and spark-proof aluminum. All latches feature case hardened and painted mild steel internals, with options to upgrade to spark-proof brass or stainless steel internals for enhanced temperature and corrosion resistance. For optimal temperature and corrosion resistance, we also offer safety latches with stainless steel housing and internals.
