Sugatsune DPL-RO Series Round Push Knob Latch, Holding Force: 22lbs., Chrome, - DPL-RO-CR

Sugatsune DPL-RO Round Push Knob Latch Use

Sugatsune DPL-RO Series Round Push Knob Latch gives you a combined knob and latch in one part, so a single cutout manages both pulling and latching on a cabinet or small door. The round shaped knob stays flush when pushed in and not in use, which keeps the door face clean and reduces the chance of catching clothing or materials as people move past the installation. When the knob is pressed to open the door, it pops out, providing an easy handhold so the door can be pulled without needing an extra pull. The door will be locked when the knob is pushed in, so the same motion that tidies the front of the door also secures it closed for normal use.

Key Latch Details For Cabinet Projects

• The knob and latch combined function means you only plan for one hardware location, which simplifies layout and speeds fabrication during cabinet or panel construction.
• The round shaped knob creates a consistent, circular cutout requirement, which streamlines drilling or boring setups where repeatable hole sizes are helpful.
• The knob being flush when pushed in protects the hardware from being bumped in tight areas, supporting smoother traffic flow along cabinet runs or within compact enclosures.
• The knob popping out when pressed to open the door provides a clear grip point, which makes operation straightforward for users who expect a simple push-to-open motion.
• The door being locked when the knob is pushed in provides a positive closed position, helping doors stay shut during normal handling in woodworking or light-duty cabinet applications.
• The non-handed design, which can be installed on left or right side, reduces stocking variation and simplifies planning for mixed door swings on the same project.

Door Thickness And Holding Force Details

This Sugatsune America latch is specified for a door thickness of 15 mm to 25 mm, or 19/32 inch to 63/64 inch, so it suits many standard cabinet and panel constructions without altering core materials. The holding force of 22 lbs means the latch is designed to keep doors firmly closed under typical residential or light commercial cabinet loads, which helps doors resist unintended opening from minor impacts or vibrations. The chrome finish matches the chrome description in the SAP and web data, so it aligns well where a bright metal look is part of the project design.

How This Push Knob Latch Works In Use

Round Push Knob Latch On Cabinet Doors

This round push knob latch is categorized under Locks and Latches and under Bolts, Hasps and Latches, placing it squarely in typical cabinet and light door hardware applications. The product belongs to the Latches product class, so it is intended to secure a movable panel closed rather than act as a full lockset. The specified door thickness range of 15 mm to 25 mm means it addresses many cabinet doors built from panel stock in that dimension, supporting consistent boring and edge treatment choices across a run of cabinets. The non-handed design allows mounting on either left or right side of a door, which helps maintain a consistent appearance regardless of door swing within the same installation.

Details That Support Consistent Latching Results

The holding force of 22 lbs is a defined performance value, giving a reference for how firmly the latch retains the door in the closed position during everyday use. The knob and latch combined function means every operation - push to lock with the knob flush, press again to pop the knob out and pull - follows the same motion, which supports repeatable user experience across multiple doors. The knob being flush when pushed in not only protects the projection of the hardware but also signals that the door is in its locked-closed state, so a quick visual check helps distinguish closed doors from ones left partially open. The knob popping out when pressed to open the door provides tactile feedback that the latch has released, which can reduce repeated yanking on a still-latched door and supports smoother workflow around cabinets or enclosures. The chrome finish coordinates with other chrome hardware components on a project, helping maintain a consistent appearance where multiple latch and pull styles may be used together.
