MS606 / MS705 / MS714 Industry-Standard Quarter-Turn Locks
Specs, functional equivalents and OEM supply terms for the most common industry-standard quarter-turn latch numbers.
MS705, MS714 and MS606 are industry-standard quarter-turn latch designations — not proprietary brand part numbers. SecuriLock manufactures functionally equivalent T-handle quarter-turns, wing-knob cam latches, padlockable quarter-turns and push-button trigger locks built to these standards, for tool boxes, electrical cabinets, RV compartments, trailers and truck bodies.
Because these model numbers are shared across the industry, the same MS705 or MS606 designation may appear in the catalogs of many manufacturers. What matters for a drop-in replacement is not the number itself but the mounting dimensions, grip range, cam travel and keying scheme. The table below maps the most common MS types to SecuriLock equivalents; request dimension drawings to verify fit before switching suppliers.
How to read this table: matches are functional equivalents — same latch type, head style and application coverage. Mounting dimensions and grip ranges vary by variant. Before committing to a design, request the dimension drawing for your exact model, or send us your current part number and we will confirm compatibility.
MS standard numbers → SecuriLock equivalents
Functional equivalents built to the same industry standards. Mounting dimensions, grip ranges and finishes vary by variant — request the dimension drawing of your exact model before switching suppliers.
| Standard model | Type | Material & finish | Keying / operation | SecuriLock equivalent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MS705-3U | T-handle quarter-turn cam | Zinc alloy; finish on request | Keyed; key code on request | SL-B-2109 / SL-B-2110 / SL-B-2112 series |
| MS705-4 | Wing knob quarter-turn cam | Zinc alloy; finish on request | Tool-operated | SL-B-2202 series |
| MS714-2 | Thumb-operated quarter turn | SUS304 stainless steel (SL-D4-2423) | Push-down safety, key removable | SL-D4-2423 |
| MS714-3 | Wing knob, padlockable | Zinc alloy; finish on request | Padlock hasp / padlock eye | SL-B-2313 (padlock hasp) · SL-B-2307 (padlock eye) |
| MS606 | Push-button trigger latch | Zinc alloy / glass-reinforced PA66 (SL-B-2701) | Push-button, lever compression | SL-A-2442-224 · SL-B-2701/2702/2704 |

How to choose the right quarter-turn lock
| Step | Selection point | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mounting first | Panel cut-out and rear shaft type (square shaft vs. direct cam) decide compatibility; MS705-3U-type T-handles are not interchangeable with wing-knob types even at the same hole size. |
| 2 | Grip range and compression | Measure panel-to-frame distance; T-handle quarter-turns typically cover mid-range grips, push-button trigger latches suit doors needing lever compression. |
| 3 | Environment | Outdoor or washdown applications should move you to SUS304 bodies and dust-cover designs (SL-D4-2423, SL-B-2307). |
| 4 | Access control | Keyed cylinders for managed access, padlock hasps for shared equipment, tool-operated knobs for service panels. |
Frequently asked questions
Is MS705 a Southco part number?
No. MS705, MS714 and MS606 are industry-standard model numbers used by many lock manufacturers. Compare function, grip range and materials across brands, and verify mounting dimensions before switching suppliers.
What is the difference between MS606 and MS705?
MS705-type numbers designate quarter-turn cam locks operated by a handle or knob, while MS606 designates a push-button trigger latch: pressing the button releases a lever that clamps the door shut with compression.
Are SecuriLock equivalents dimensionally interchangeable with MS standard parts?
They are functional equivalents built to the same standard. Mounting dimensions, grip range and cam geometry vary between manufacturers, so request a dimension drawing and verify before ordering.
Do you provide dimension drawings or CAD files?
Yes. Dimension drawings are available on request for all models listed on this page; CAD files are available for selected series.
Can I get samples before placing an order?
Yes — samples are available at actual cost, including courier. In-stock samples ship within 3–5 business days; items not in stock take about 25 days.
Do you support OEM production to MS specifications?
Yes. We manufacture quarter-turn locks and trigger latches to MS standard dimensions with custom materials, finishes and keying for OEM programs. OEM/ODM starts from 100 pcs depending on the product — see our sourcing policy for full terms.
