The Metrol 1245-314-202 is a key-locking lever latch finished in black powder coat, forming part of the 1245 series of access hardware. Designed to securely close and hold panels, doors, and covers whilst allowing quick, controlled access when required, it is well suited to industrial equipment, electrical enclosures, cabinets, and machinery housings where repeatable day-to-day operation and resistance to accidental opening from vibration are essential.
The latch is constructed from die-cast zinc alloy for the handle, housing, and trigger, with mild steel zinc-plated fixing components. The CH751 key-locking mechanism ships with keys supplied, providing a straightforward security solution in a universal format. The black powder-coat finish offers both a clean appearance and additional surface protection, and the unit carries an IP40 ingress-protection rating.
Installation uses a standard 35 x 90 mm panel cut-out. The latch accommodates a panel thickness range of 11–21 mm and a grip range of 1–14 mm, offering meaningful flexibility across common enclosure and cabinet constructions. Salt spray testing to over 300 hours supports its suitability for demanding workshop and industrial environments.
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.
