Contact Points for Polar T-Handle Latch
Question:
Does this latch mechanism have two or three points of contact to latch something shut? Obviously, the two arms that extend out of the ends of it engage with the door jamb but is there a third short arm on the back of the latch that could engage with the door jamb as well if its mounted close enough to the edge of the door?

Expert Reply:
The Polar T-Handle Latch # PLR5730 that you referenced does just feature the two arms as contact points with the door jamb. You could potentially fabricate something for the back of the unit to engage with the jamb as well but there is not a short arm on the latch for this purpose.
We do have deadbolt type locks that feature a 3-point design like the Polar # PLR7011S that you might be interested in.
