1242-224-10 — the Metrol 1242 is a non-locking flush trigger lever latch finished in black powder coat, manufactured using zinc alloy die casting. Designed as an access hardware component, it is intended to securely close and hold panels, doors, and covers while allowing quick, controlled access when needed. It suits industrial equipment, electrical enclosures, cabinets, and machinery housings where prevention of accidental opening from vibration or handling is required.
The 1242 features a flush trigger lever mechanism that enables easy one-handed operation without the complexity of a locking function, making it well suited to applications requiring frequent, repeatable day-to-day access. The die cast zinc alloy body provides robust construction appropriate to industrial environments, and the black powder coat finish contributes to corrosion resistance and a consistent appearance across equipment panels.
Key installation data: the latch requires a panel cutout of 25 x 86 mm and is compatible with panel thicknesses of 1–3 mm. The grip range extends to 24 mm, allowing fitment across a variety of door and frame combinations. An IP40 ingress protection rating confirms suitability for enclosed indoor environments where protection against solid particle ingress is required.
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.
