VALERYD supplies platform latches, locking catches and drop side locks for trailers, for surface mounting.
A platform lock holds the drop side or tailgate of a trailer shut while driving. The latch is fitted to the side and the locking catch, or hasp, to the part it closes against, so the two are chosen together and the hole spacing has to match.
What the range covers
There are platform latches, including the Pro and DK models, and locking catches and hasps matched to them. There are also drop side locks with hook, left and right, trailer latch bails and hooks, rubber hood straps and safety chains.
Fitting
All of these are surface mounted, so the existing hole spacing decides what fits. Measure the centre distance on the current catch before ordering, and check that the latch and the catch come from the same pair. Several catches in the range are listed against a specific latch part number.
