The Metrol 1245-229-203 is a key-locking lever latch from the 1245 series, finished in black powder coat and designed to securely close and hold panels, doors, and covers while allowing quick, controlled access when required. It is suited to industrial equipment, electrical enclosures, cabinets, and machinery housings where accidental opening from vibration or handling must be prevented.
The latch features a zinc die-cast handle, housing, and trigger, with mild steel zinc-plated fixing components. The black powder-coated finish is salt spray tested to over 300 hours, providing resistance to corrosive environments. A key-locking mechanism with shutter is included, using the CH751 key type, adding a controlled-access layer to the assembly.
Installation requires a standard 35 x 90 mm panel cut-out. The latch accommodates a grip range of 14–29 mm and a panel thickness of 21–31 mm, giving flexibility across a range of enclosure and door constructions. The IP40 rating confirms protection against solid particle ingress in line with standard enclosure requirements.
