Southco access hardware for rail security and passenger comfort at InnoTrans
At InnoTrans 2026, Southco, will showcase its extensive portfolio of mechanical and electromechanical latches, locks, fasteners, hinges and positioning solutions - all designed to enhance safety, security, maintenance efficiency and passenger comfort across a wide range of rolling-stock applications.
Built to withstand demanding rail environments, Southco's robust, vibration-resistant access hardware helps protect interior and exterior panels from unauthorised access while reducing maintenance requirements. Compression latches provide secure, vibration-free closure with a variety of key and tool-operated latching options, including corrosion-resistant stainless-steel versions.
At InnoTrans, Southco will specifically focus on showcasing latching solutions that support some of the industry's key security concerns, i.e. protecting rail carriages and on-board equipment from theft, vandalism and cybersecurity threats.
Visitors will also discover Southco's touch point solutions that improve the passenger experience. Southco's positioning hinges and display mounts enable smooth, reliable movement and support of screens, armrests, headrests and fold-down tables without secondary supports. Intelligent electronic locks secure luggage storage and staff-only areas, while multi-point latching systems help prevent false latching and offer flexible actuation options. Southco's DZUS Quarter-Turn Fasteners further simplify maintenance by enabling quick and easy access.
Trusted by leading rolling-stock OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers for decades, Southco combines a broad product portfolio with global manufacturing capabilities and local engineering support to help customers address the evolving challenges of modern rail design.
