Keep your boat's compartments and doors securely fastened with this stainless steel adjustable safety latch. Constructed from marine-grade AISI 316 stainless steel, it offers superior resistance to rust, corrosion, and wear, making it ideal for use in saltwater environments. The latch measures 120 mm in length and 30 mm in width, and its design includes an adjustable locking arm that allows you to fine-tune the closure tension. This means even if your hatch or door alignment shifts or rubber seals compress over time, you can easily adjust the latch to maintain a snug, rattle-free fit.
For additional security, the latch is equipped with a padlock-compatible eyelet. Simply slide a padlock through the provided slot when you want to prevent unauthorized opening – perfect for when you need to lock up tools, fishing gear, or other valuables on board. When a padlock isn’t in use, the latch still keeps your compartment securely closed with a robust over-center catch mechanism.
Versatile Application: The installation flexibility of this safety latch makes it suitable for many applications on your boat: secure your engine room door, anchor locker, deck storage box, or cabin door with confidence. Its flush surface and smooth edges prevent snagging on clothes or gear, and its heavy-duty design withstands vibrations and shocks from rough seas.
Recommended Use: This latch is recommended for medium to large boats where a strong hold and optional locking capability are needed – such as securing lazarette hatches, battery compartments, or cabin entryways. With its stainless construction, it’s equally at home on sailboats, motor yachts, fishing vessels, or industrial marine equipment.
Installation: The latch mounts easily with screws (included), and the adjustable catch can be set to accommodate different mounting distances. For optimal security, use a marine-grade padlock with a shackle diameter appropriate to the latch’s eye (padlock not included). Regularly rinse with fresh water to keep it free of salt buildup, ensuring smooth operation.
- Ideal for securing boat lockers, cabin doors, engine covers, and deck boxes, especially where slight adjustability is needed for a tight seal.
- Great for adding security on fishing boats, sailboats, or yachts – lock away valuable gear by adding a padlock when required.
- Recommended for any marine application requiring a robust latch: adjustable design compensates for vibrations and gasket wear, ensuring long-term secure latching.
