The 1240 Tooling Secured Lift and Turn Compression Latch (SKU: 1240-11-310) is a die cast zinc alloy access hardware component finished in black powder coat, designed to securely close and hold panels, doors, and covers while allowing quick, controlled access when needed. It is commonly used in industrial equipment, electrical enclosures, cabinets, and machinery housings, where it helps prevent accidental opening caused by vibration or handling and supports repeatable day-to-day operation.
The latch features a tooling secured lock type with a universal panel cutout of 29.5 x 72.5 mm, accommodating panel thicknesses of 1–6 mm. It ships with a grip range covering both 26–36 mm and 36–46 mm, making it suitable across a variety of installation depths. The fitted cam is included. The latch carries a sealed IP65 rating and has been salt spray tested to over 300 hours, confirming its suitability for demanding industrial environments.
With its black powder coated die cast zinc alloy construction and IP65 sealing, this latch is well suited to enclosures and equipment housings where corrosion resistance and long service life are required. The tooling secured mechanism ensures the latch cannot be operated by hand, adding an appropriate level of access control in workshop and industrial settings.
