Latch troubleshootingUpdated 5 days ago

Condition 1 cases use spring-loaded draw latches designed for repeated use. New latches may be firm and will break in with normal use. 

Latches feel too loose 

  • Confirm the latch is fully engaged; press it down until it clicks into the keeper.
  • Inspect the latch keeper for bending or deformation. A slightly bent keeper may be carefully returned to position. A cracked or broken keeper should be reported as a warranty claim.

If the case will not stay securely closed due to a defective latch, submit a warranty claim at [email protected] with photos. 

Latches are too stiff 

Stiffness in new latches is normal and lessens with use. If a latch is completely seized, check for debris or grit in the mechanism and clean with a soft brush. Latches bent from impact should be reported for warranty evaluation.
