The Metrol 1245-214-201 is a key-locking lever latch from the 1245 series, finished in black powder coat and supplied with CH751 keys. It is purpose-built to securely close and hold panels, doors, and covers while allowing quick, controlled access when needed, making it suited to industrial equipment, electrical enclosures, cabinets, and machinery housings.
The latch is constructed with a die cast zinc body throughout — handle, housing, and trigger — with mild steel zinc plated fixing components. The black-coated finish has been salt spray tested to over 300 hours, supporting durability in demanding environments. The lever latch features a key-locking mechanism with a built-in shutter and is compatible with the CH751 key series, with keys supplied as standard.
The 1245-214-201 accepts a standard 35 x 90 mm panel cutout and suits panel thickness from 1 to 11 mm with a grip range of 1 to 14 mm, providing installation flexibility across a range of enclosure wall gauges. It carries an IP40 ingress protection rating and the universal panel cutout format simplifies retrofitting to existing installations. A one-year guarantee is included.
This latch is one of a broader range of 1245 series latch configurations available from Metrol. Alternative variants may offer differing locking types, finishes, or grip ranges — review the full 1245 series listing for the option that matches your installation requirements.
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.
