This flush-mount D-handle latch is the perfect hardware for achieving a clean and safe deck or cabin surface on your boat. Constructed from marine-grade AISI 316 stainless steel, it offers superior resistance to saltwater corrosion and heavy use. The latch’s dimensions (75 x 62 x 64 mm) make it robust enough for larger hatches while maintaining a low profile. When closed, the latch sits flush with the surface, eliminating any protrusions that could cause trips or snags – a critical feature for busy decks and tight onboard spaces.
The integrated D-shaped handle lies flat when not in use and lifts easily when you need to open a hatch or door. This product comes in two versions to suit different needs:
- Non-Locking (01154-1): Provides a secure latch without a key, ideal for interior compartments or frequently accessed hatches where locking isn’t necessary.
- Locking (01154-2): Equipped with a built-in lock and key for added security, recommended for exterior lockers and deck hatches where valuable items are stored and you want to prevent unauthorized access.
Use Cases and Recommendations:
- Excellent for flush installation on floor panels, engine room covers, deck hatches, and cabin doors on sailboats, motorboats, and yachts.
- Use the non-locking latch on engine compartment covers or day-use lockers where quick access is needed during operation.
- Use the locking latch on lazarette compartments, fuel tank access panels, or deck boxes to keep contents safe when the boat is unattended.
- Suitable for a wide range of vessels – from small powerboats that need secure storage latches to large yachts requiring durable, corrosion-proof hatch hardware.
By upgrading to this stainless steel flush latch, you ensure both safety and convenience on board. Your decks remain free of obstructions while critical compartments stay firmly closed until you open them. Its polished finish complements other premium marine fittings, providing a combination of reliable function and upscale appearance.
