The Metrol 1245-257-202 is a key-locking lever latch finished in black powder coat, designed to securely close and hold panels, doors, and covers while allowing quick, controlled access when needed. Suited to industrial equipment, electrical enclosures, cabinets, and machinery housings, it prevents accidental opening from vibration or handling and supports repeatable day-to-day operation.
The latch body, housing, and trigger are constructed from zinc die-cast alloy, with mild steel zinc-plated fixing components providing corrosion resistance throughout the assembly. The CH751 key-locking cylinder incorporates a shutter mechanism, and the black powder-coat finish offers a clean, durable appearance suited to professional enclosure and cabinet applications. Salt spray testing to over 300 hours confirms the finish's resilience in demanding environments.
Fitted to a standard 35 x 90 mm panel cut-out, the 1245-257-202 accommodates panel thicknesses of 11–21 mm and a grip range of 45–57 mm, allowing installation across a range of door and panel constructions. The IP40 rating provides protection against solid objects in typical indoor industrial settings. The product carries a guaranteed one-year warranty.
This latch is part of the Metrol 1245 series. Refer to variant siblings for alternative grip ranges, finishes, or cylinder options within the same series.

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.
