The Metrol 1245-429-204 is a tooling secured lever latch finished in black powder coat, designed to securely close and hold panels, doors, and covers while allowing quick, controlled access when needed. Suitable for 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.
Constructed with a die cast zinc body for the handle, housing, and trigger, with mild steel zinc plated fixing components, this latch combines robust material selection with a corrosion-resistant finish. It has been salt spray tested to over 300 hours, underlining its suitability for demanding environments. The lock type is tooling secured, providing a controlled access solution that resists unauthorised or accidental operation.
The latch accommodates a grip range of 14–29mm and suits panel thicknesses from 31mm to 41mm. The fixing aperture dimension is 5 x 90mm, and the unit carries an IP40 ingress protection rating. These specifications make it straightforward to specify against enclosure or cabinet requirements within the 1245 series range.
This product is guaranteed for one year. The latch belongs to Metrol's 1245 series, and additional grip range and panel thickness variants may be available — refer to related listings for alternative configurations.
