The Metrol 1245-345-202 is a key-locking lever latch finished in black powder coat, designed to securely close and hold panels, doors, and covers whilst still allowing quick, controlled access when needed. Suited to industrial equipment, electrical enclosures, cabinets, and machinery housings, it helps prevent accidental opening caused by vibration or handling and supports repeatable day-to-day operation.
The latch body, housing, and trigger are constructed from zinc die-cast alloy, combining rigidity with corrosion resistance. Fixing components are mild steel zinc plated. The black powder-coated finish is salt spray tested to over 300 hours, making it suitable for demanding workshop and industrial environments. Locking is provided by the CH751 key system, with keys supplied.
The latch accommodates a grip range of 29–45 mm and suits panel thicknesses from 11 to 21 mm. It requires a standard 35 × 90 mm panel cut-out, simplifying installation into existing enclosures and fabricated housings. The IP40 rating confirms protection against solid particle ingress. The lock type is CH751 key locking, providing a common-key solution used across industrial enclosure hardware.
