Compression latches

Have any of you added compression latches (or any latches/pulls for that matter) to the hatches on your SF 20 and figure out what the requirements are (high offset, medium offset, low offset, long cam, short cam, straight cam, thick panel, thin panel et cetera)? I am looking at Southco and Gemlux latches...

Or.. did you simply decide they were not needed?
Thanks!!!

I have Gemlux and they're great. You'll have to measure the offset for the application. The swing style are adjustable within a range.

Thanks... that Gemlux product selection table was giving me fits. I ordered some of their latches to give them a try so we shall see. I hope I can get the hole cut in the right place the first time.

Going by my measurements, their hinges seem to be a millimeter or two off the originals so I will see how they compare also.
