MotionLatch®—The Original Full-Length, Dual-Latch Handle

Weston, WI – February 3, 2023: For those looking to make their tools more accessible than ever before, look no further than CTech’s MotionLatch® technology. This revolutionary handle design was the first of its kind—a full-length dual-latching handle that can be opened with as little as a finger. Now, full-length dual-latching handles are the norm, but MotionLatch®, while often imitated, has never been duplicated. Here’s more about the gold standard for tool drawer technology. 

What is MotionLatch®?

CTech’s MotionLatch® technology was a revolution in storage design. It appeared on the storage scene in the early 90’s, offering a completely new and innovative way to access and secure stored belongings. Unsurprisingly, it caught the attention of craftsmen and storage companies alike. Ever since, the full-length dual-latch design has become the standard. But because of its exclusive patented design, no imitation has been able to hold a candle to MotionLatch®. 

At the heart of the MotionLatch® design is a full-length handle that can be easily pulled to unlatch the drawer or cabinet door. It sprung from the fast-paced nature of the motorsport world, where its creator noticed a tool sore spot.

As practiced workmen can attest, rudimentary tool drawers lacked the efficiency and finesse of the more current designs. Tools had to be put down and work had to be stopped, to access anything in a tool drawer. This posed a frustrating problem in an industry with rapid efficiency demands. But it soon became clear that tool storage was imperfect in every industry. The opportunity to perfect this process for the better is where MotionLatch® was born. 

5 Reasons to Choose MotionLatch®

Besides being the originator of the full-length dual-latch handle, there are 5 other reasons MotionLatch® changes the game for tool storage.

  1. Easy and Intuitive Operation : MotionLatch’s® full-length handle design eliminates the need for latch triggers, sliders, and other hard-to-reach latching mechanisms. You can un-latch the system even with a handful of tools.
  2. Enhanced Security : MotionLatch’s® dual-latch mechanism stays secure even in transit, making it a more secure option compared to traditional drawer handles. It also makes MotionLatch® ideal for cart, trailer, and service truck drawers where movement is the name of the game.
  3. Durable and Weather-Resistant Construction : MotionLatch® is constructed with a combination of aluminum alloy and composite parts, able to withstand even the harshest conditions. This makes it an ideal choice for tough workers who need storage that can keep up with their work ethic.
  4. Sleek and Customizable : The smooth and stylish design of MotionLatch® looks great in any garage, shop, or trailer. And MotionLatch® handles comes in silver or black to match the style of your home or workplace. 
  5. Space-Saving Design : The flush profile of MotionLatch® is compact and space-saving, making it an ideal choice for small storage spaces or areas where traditional locking mechanisms are not feasible. This makes it an ideal choice for trailer storage, or for storing tools and other equipment in tight spaces.
