The USAutomatic 600170 push button latch restores the locking latch function on USAutomatic metal cabinet covers. The latch secures the control-box cover so the operator controls, battery wiring, and accessories stay protected inside the cabinet. It is a practical replacement when the latch sticks, the lock cylinder is damaged, the push button no longer releases correctly, or the cover cannot be secured after service. This part is commonly used with the 600020 metal cabinet on select Patriot and Ranger HD swing gate systems. It should be matched to the cabinet cover style, not selected by brand name alone, because USAutomatic keypad locks and cabinet latches use different keys and hardware.
