This Flat-Backed Security Latch Keeps Glass Doors Resilient Against Pulling

March 30, 2025
Unlike standard roller latches, this model provides stronger engagement with the overhead door strike so the door can’t be forced open.

CRL has launched the new Blumcraft Security Latch for its full line of panic handles. Unlike standard roller latches, the Security Latch has a flat back that provides stronger engagement with the overhead door strike to keep glass doors resilient against exterior pull force when the door is locked. This prevents the door from being forced open by pulling the exterior handle.

The Blumcraft Security Latch supports a maximum door height of 12 feet and is UL 305 listed. It will come standard with all Blumcraft panic handles, but existing handles can be retrofitted.
