1240-11-210 — the Metrol 1240 is a tooling secured, black powder coated lift and turn compression latch designed to securely close and hold panels, doors, and covers while allowing quick, controlled access when needed. Constructed with a die cast zinc body with a black powder coated finish, it is suited to industrial equipment, electrical enclosures, cabinets, and machinery housings where prevention of accidental opening from vibration or handling is essential.
The 1240 features a universal panel cutout of 29.5 x 72.5 mm and accommodates panel thicknesses of 1–6 mm. Its dual grip range of 16–26 mm and 46–56 mm gives it flexibility across varying installation depths. The latch carries a sealed IP65 rating and has been salt spray tested to over 300 hours, confirming its suitability for demanding environments. A cam is included with each unit, and the latch is guaranteed for 1 year.
With a tooling secured lock type, the 1240 requires a tool for operation, supporting controlled-access applications where unauthorised or accidental opening must be prevented. Its die cast zinc alloy body provides robust mechanical resistance suitable for repeatable day-to-day service in industrial and machinery housing applications.
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.
