1240-12-210 — the 1240 series lift and turn compression latch features a 4.5mm female hexagon drive and a black powder coated die cast zinc alloy body. Designed to securely close and hold panels, doors, and covers while allowing quick, controlled access when needed, it is well suited to industrial equipment, electrical enclosures, cabinets, and machinery housings where accidental opening from vibration or handling must be prevented.
The latch accommodates a dual grip range of 16–26mm and 46–56mm, making it adaptable across a range of panel assemblies. It is rated IP65 for dust and water ingress protection and has been salt spray tested to over 300 hours, confirming its suitability for demanding workshop and outdoor cabinet environments. A cam is included in the supply. The fixing aperture required is 29.5 x 72.5mm, with compatible panel thicknesses of 1–6mm.
Manufactured by Metrol, the latch is finished in black powder coat over a die cast zinc alloy body, providing both corrosion resistance and a consistent appearance across enclosure builds. The universal panel cutout dimension simplifies retrofitting or standardisation across multiple cabinet types.
Latches are access hardware components designed to securely close and hold panels, doors, and covers while still allowing quick, controlled access when needed. Commonly used in industrial equipment, electrical enclosures, cabinets, and machinery housings, they help prevent accidental opening from vibration or handling and support repeatable day-to-day operation. Available in multiple styles and mounting options, latches can be selected to match different access frequency, security, and installation requirements.
