    When should I choose Acetal (plastic) latches?

    Answer

    Acetal latches are ideal for indoor industrial, warehouse, and commercial applications where heat resistance, durability, and minimal particle accumulation are important.

    Question

    When should I choose Stainless Steel latches?

    Answer

    Stainless Steel latches are perfect for food processing facilities, commercial kitchens, refrigeration units, car washes, and agricultural or livestock buildings. They resist chemicals, acids, and extreme temperatures.

    Question

    Are these latches suitable for wet-location installations?

    Answer

    Yes. Both latch types maintain the luminaire housing integrity, making them compatible with wet-location and washdown environments, preserving IP65/IP66 protection when used correctly.

    Question

    Do these latch types affect the luminaire warranty?

    Answer

    No. Using the factory-supplied Acetal or Stainless Steel latches ensures the luminaire housing remains intact. Modifying or replacing latches with non-approved hardware could void the warranty.

    Question

    Can these latches withstand extreme temperatures?

    Answer

    Yes. Acetal latches perform reliably across a broad temperature range for industrial and commercial settings, while Stainless Steel latches are suitable for extreme heat, refrigeration, and freezer applications.

    Question

    Are the Stainless Steel latches NSF approved?

    Answer

    Yes. Stainless Steel latches meet NSF standards, making them suitable for food-safe and sanitary installations.

    Question

    Can these latches be used in outdoor or chemical-prone environments?

    Answer

    Absolutely. Stainless Steel latches are highly resistant to chemical exposure, acids, and corrosion, making them ideal for car washes, agricultural buildings, and other harsh environments.
