It is commonly used in industrial equipment, electrical enclosures, cabinets, and machinery housings, helping to prevent accidental opening caused by vibration or routine handling.
The 1240 features a universal panel cutout of 29.5 x 72.5mm and accommodates a panel thickness of 1–6mm with a grip range of 6–16mm and 56–66mm, offering installation flexibility across a broad range of applications. The latch carries IP65-grade weather sealing, confirming resistance to dust and low-pressure water jets, and has been salt spray tested to over 300 hours, confirming durability in demanding environments. A cam is included as standard.
Constructed in die cast zinc with a black powder-coated finish, the latch is built to deliver repeatable day-to-day operation under industrial conditions.
