Product Number: 1242-724-10
The Metrol 1242-724-10 is a female hexagon 4.5mm lever latch finished in black powder coat, accommodating a grip range of 1–24mm. Manufactured using zinc alloy die casting, it is designed to securely close and hold panels, doors, and covers whilst permitting quick, controlled access when required — making it well suited to industrial equipment, electrical enclosures, cabinets, and machinery housings.
The latch features a universal panel cut-out of 25×86mm and is rated IP40, offering protection against solid particle ingress in line with that classification. The black powder coat finish and die cast zinc alloy construction contribute to durability in day-to-day workshop and enclosure environments. Salt spray testing to over 300 hours confirms resistance to corrosive conditions, and the product carries a guaranteed one-year warranty.
With a panel thickness accommodation of 1–3mm and the 1–24mm grip range, the 1242-724-10 can be selected to match a range of access-frequency and installation requirements across industrial cabinetry and machinery housings where lever latch operation is specified.
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.
