Built for both security and convenience, this toggle latch mechanism is commonly found on marine and industrial equipment where frequent access and a tight seal are required. Both the 64×28 mm and 95×28 mm versions share the same robust construction: all parts are AISI 316 stainless steel, including the base, latch arm, and catch plate, meaning the latch will not rust or weaken even with constant exposure to saltwater or chemicals. The toggle (over-center) action works by hooking the latch arm onto the catch plate and pressing it down; as it snaps over center, it draws the two surfaces together with significant force, compressing any gasket if present and eliminating rattles. This action also makes it quick to open and close – ideal for engine compartments or battery boxes where you might need rapid access for maintenance. The smaller 64×28 mm latch is well-suited for places like electronics enclosures, small storage bins, or hatches on small boats. The larger 95×28 mm latch provides more leverage and holding power, great for bigger hatches, engine covers, or even deck-mounted coolers and bait boxes on larger vessels. Each latch features pre-drilled mounting holes: simply align the latch portion on one side of the opening and the catch on the other, so that they meet squarely when closed. Fasten them with stainless screws or bolts. Once installed, the mirror-polished latch components not only look professional but also have smooth edges and operation, preventing snags on gear or injury to crew. An added benefit: because these latches pull surfaces tightly, they can help maintain waterproofing on gasketed lids (for example, keeping rainwater out of a storage compartment). Whether you’re upgrading plastic latches on a production boat or adding custom closures to a DIY project, these 316 stainless toggle latches will perform reliably. They stand up to vibrations from the engine and impacts from waves, all while remaining easy to operate with one hand. No more tape or loose bungees – once these latches are in place, your hatches and lids stay shut when you need them shut, and open in a flash when you don’t.
