04 - Using Your Latches

Now the rear end of your Hawk’s Nest is complete. Here’s how to use your new lockable latches 
 

 

Firstly, lift the Lower Latch onto the Upper Latch Hook. 

 

Once located, firmly press down on the locking tab lever. 

 

If adjusted & installed correctly, the Locking tab will smoothly lock in with a satisfying thud.  
 

Feldon Fact: These latches are lockable to ensure no one opens up your tent when you’re not 
looking. This is done by sourcing a suitable sized padlock that will fit the locking latch hole.

Here’s the first step to opening & closing
