1240-12-110 — the 1240 series compression latch from Metrol is a lift-and-turn access hardware component finished in black powder-coated die-cast zinc alloy. Designed to securely close and hold panels, doors, and covers while still allowing quick, controlled access when needed, it is commonly used in industrial equipment, electrical enclosures, cabinets, and machinery housings to prevent accidental opening from vibration or handling and to support repeatable day-to-day operation. The latch accepts a female hexagon 4.5mm key and is supplied complete with cam included. It carries IP65-grade weather sealing and has been salt spray tested to over 300 hours, making it well suited to demanding environments where moisture and contamination resistance are required. The mounting cutout measures 29.5 x 72.5 mm, panel thickness accommodation runs from 1 to 6 mm, and the grip range covers 6–16 mm and 56–66 mm, providing installation flexibility across a wide variety of enclosure depths. The universal panel cutout simplifies fitting across different cabinet and housing types.
