1240-10-310 — the Metrol 1240 is a key-locking lift and turn compression latch finished in black powder-coated die cast zinc alloy, designed to securely close and hold panels, doors, and covers whilst allowing controlled access when required. Carrying an IP65 rating and salt-spray tested to over 300 hours, it is suited to industrial equipment, electrical enclosures, cabinets, and machinery housings where resistance to dust, moisture, and handling vibration is essential.
The latch accepts a standard CH751 key (keys supplied) and is supplied complete with cam. It fits a universal panel cut-out of 29.5 x 72.5 mm and accommodates panel thicknesses of 1 to 6 mm. Two grip ranges are available within this listing: 26–36 mm and 36–46 mm, allowing selection to match the specific door or panel stack-up on the application.
The 1240 is backed by a one-year guarantee and is manufactured by Metrol.
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.
