The Metrol 1241 Small Compression Latch (SKU 1241-200-210) is a lift and turn 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. With a panel cutout of 17.5x41mm and compatibility with panel thicknesses of 1–3mm, it suits a wide range of industrial enclosures, electrical cabinets, and machinery housings.
Constructed using zinc alloy die casting with a black powder coated finish, the 1241 features a mild steel zinc plated cam and shaft. It is rated IP65, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets — an important consideration for equipment exposed to workshop or outdoor conditions. The latch has been salt spray tested to over 300 hours, confirming its corrosion resistance in demanding environments. A cam is included in the supply.
The 1241 accommodates two grip ranges — 10.5–16.5mm and 28.5–34.5mm — providing installation flexibility across varying door and frame assemblies. The non-locking configuration and universal panel cutout make it straightforward to fit during initial build or maintenance replacement. A one-year guarantee is provided as standard.
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.
