1240-10-210 — the Metrol 1240 is a key locking compression latch finished in black powder coat, designed to securely close and hold panels, doors, and covers whilst allowing quick, controlled access when needed. Supplied with CH751 keys and a cam included, it is suited to industrial equipment, electrical enclosures, cabinets, and machinery housings where accidental opening from vibration or handling must be prevented.
The latch is constructed with a die cast zinc body and carries an IP65 rating, confirming its suitability for environments where ingress of dust and low-pressure water jets must be resisted. Salt spray testing to over 300 hours demonstrates corrosion resistance appropriate for demanding workshop and industrial settings. The universal panel cutout of 29.5 x 72.5 mm simplifies installation across a range of panel types.
Panel thickness compatibility spans 1–6 mm, with a grip range of 16–26 mm and 46–56 mm, accommodating a variety of door and frame configurations. The key locking CH751 mechanism provides a consistent, repeatable lock condition to support day-to-day operational security. A one-year guarantee is included as standard.
