1256-00-17-PAB — the Metrol 1256 is a non-locking slam latch finished in black acetal, designed to securely close and hold panels, doors, and covers while allowing quick, controlled access when needed. Suitable for use in 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 1256 is constructed from acetal plastic and die cast zinc alloy, offering a durable combination of materials suited to demanding access hardware applications. The black acetal finish provides UV resistance up to 1000 hours and meets UL94 V-0 flame retardant classification. The latch uses a universal 50x50mm panel cut-out and accommodates panel thicknesses from 17mm to 22mm, simplifying installation across a range of cabinet and enclosure configurations.
