1256-00-7-20 — the Metrol 1256 is a non locking slam latch finished in black powder coating, 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 from acetal plastic and die cast zinc alloy, the 1256 offers a durable combination of lightweight polymer and robust metal hardware. The black powder coat finish has been salt spray tested to over 300 hours, providing reliable corrosion resistance in demanding environments. The latch also carries UV resistance rated to 1,000 hours and meets UL94 V-0 flame retardant classification, making it appropriate for use near electrical or thermally sensitive assemblies.
The 1256 accepts a universal 50 x 50 mm panel cut-out and is compatible with panel thicknesses of 7 to 12 mm. Its non locking slam action suits applications where repeated, tool-free access is required without the need for a keyed or lockable mechanism. The product is guaranteed for one year from date of purchase.
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.
