About Latch Compatibility
Lock Type: Most roll up door latches work with disc locks and padlocks, while cylinder locks require special compatibility.
Door Corrugation: Consider different door corrugation types such as square rib, round rib, Porvene styles, and flat doors. While some latching mechanisms can fit multiple corrugation styles, most roll up door latches are designed to fit either a square or round rib door corrugation.

Mounting the Latch: The installation process for a roll-up door locking mechanism varies depending on the door type. Most storage unit latches are mounted using 2 or 4 bolts, though some use 3 bolts or rivets. To avoid unnecessary modifications like drilling new holes, it's best to choose a roll-up door latch that aligns with your door’s existing mounting points.
