This 111 mm stainless steel latch mechanism is designed to keep vital compartments on your vessel securely closed. Constructed from top-tier AISI 316 stainless steel, it can withstand the harsh marine environment – from constant salt spray to intense UV exposure – without corroding or binding. The latch consists of a sturdy pivoting hasp/lever and a catch plate (or bracket), which together form a reliable lock when engaged. Use cases: Mount this latch on cockpit lockers, lazarette lids, engine compartment hatches, tackle boxes, or cabin doors to prevent them from swinging open or accidentally opening underway. Its length (111 mm) makes it suitable for medium-sized panels, providing ample reach and leverage to pull doors/hatches tight. The mechanism is spring-loaded or cam-style (depending on model) to ensure it stays closed even in vibration and wave impacts. The smooth lever action allows quick opening when needed – for example, giving crew fast access to an engine bay or storage area – while the locking feature keeps things safely shut when closed. Installation is straightforward: the latch portion is typically mounted on the door or lid, and the catch plate on the frame or adjacent surface, aligned so that the latch hooks securely. All required mounting holes are pre-drilled in the latch components, and using stainless steel screws will ensure the entire assembly remains rust-free. The polished stainless finish not only protects against corrosion but also prevents abrasion (no rough edges) and gives a professional appearance. Because of its heavy-duty build, this latch can also double as a safety device – for instance, keeping an engine hatch closed to contain noise or fumes. For boat owners looking to upgrade from plastic or low-grade metal latches, this 316 stainless latch offers a significant improvement in strength and longevity. You can trust this mechanism to hold firm during rough seas and years of use, all while retaining its smooth operation and shiny look.
