The 1241 Small Compression Latch (SKU: 1241-200-110) is a lift-and-turn access hardware component finished in black powder coat, designed to securely close and hold panels, doors, and covers whilst permitting quick, controlled access when required. With a panel cutout of 17.5 x 41 mm and a panel thickness accommodation of 1–3 mm, it suits a wide range of industrial enclosures, cabinets, electrical housings, and machinery panels. The latch carries IP65-grade weather sealing and has been salt spray tested to over 300 hours, confirming suitability for demanding service environments where moisture and particulate resistance are necessary.
Constructed in die cast zinc with a black powder coated finish, the housing and handle deliver a durable, corrosion-resistant surface. The cam and shaft are mild steel, zinc plated, and the cam is included as standard. The latch operates in a non-locking configuration and offers a dual grip range of 4.5–10.5 mm and 34.5–40.5 mm, providing versatility across varying panel and door thicknesses. A universal panel cut-out simplifies installation across different enclosure types.
The 1241 Small type is manufactured by Metrol and is part of a broader compression latch series. Related series include the 1241 Large type and companion series 1409, 1421, 1422, 1423, 1437, and 1439, offering a range of sizes, locking options, and handle styles to suit differing access frequency and security requirements.
