1240-12-310 — the 1240 Female Hexagon 4.5mm Black Powder Coated Lift and Turn Compression Latch is a die cast zinc alloy access hardware component designed to securely close and hold panels, doors, and covers while still allowing quick, controlled access when needed. With a dual grip range of 26–36mm and 36–46mm, this single SKU accommodates a wide span of panel assemblies without the need for separate components.
The latch features a universal panel cutout of 29.5 x 72.5mm, accepting panel thicknesses from 1 to 6mm, and is supplied with a cam included as standard. The powder-coated black finish to the die cast zinc alloy body provides a durable, corrosion-resistant surface that has been salt spray tested to over 300 hours. The 4.5mm female hexagon drive operates as a lift and turn mechanism, offering controlled, tool-assisted access suited to applications where accidental opening must be prevented. An IP65 ingress protection rating confirms the latch is sealed against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets.
The 1240 series is commonly used in industrial equipment, electrical enclosures, cabinets, and machinery housings, where it helps prevent accidental opening from vibration or handling and supports repeatable day-to-day operation. The Metrol manufacturer designation confirms the component's industrial hardware lineage.
This product carries a guaranteed 1 year warranty.
