The Metrol 1245-345-201 is a key locking lever latch finished in black powder coat, designed to securely close and hold panels, doors, and covers whilst permitting quick, controlled access when required. Suitable for industrial equipment, electrical enclosures, cabinets, and machinery housings, the latch prevents accidental opening caused by vibration or repeated handling and supports reliable day-to-day operation.
The latch body, housing, and trigger are constructed from zinc die cast alloy, with mild steel zinc plated fixing components throughout. The powder-coated black finish provides a durable, corrosion-resistant surface, and the unit carries an IP40 ingress protection rating. The CH751 key locking mechanism is supplied with keys, offering a straightforward security solution for controlled-access enclosures.
The 1245-345-201 accepts a standard 35 x 90 mm panel cut-out and accommodates panel thicknesses from 1 to 11 mm, with a grip range of 29 to 45 mm. Salt spray testing to over 300 hours confirms the finish's resistance to harsh workshop and industrial environments. The latch is backed by a guaranteed one-year warranty.
This product is listed as part of the Metrol 1245 model range. Buyers requiring alternative finishes, grip ranges, or locking configurations should review other variants within the 1245 series to confirm suitability for their installation.
