1256-00-2-20 — the Metrol 1256 is a non-locking slam latch finished in black powder coat, designed for use with panels of 2 to 7mm thickness. Manufactured from acetal plastic and die cast zinc alloy, it suits applications where quick, controlled access to enclosures, cabinets, and machinery housings is required without the need for a locking mechanism.
The black powder coat finish has been salt spray tested to over 300 hours, providing reliable resistance to corrosion in industrial environments. The latch also carries a UL94 V-0 flame retardant rating and UV resistance up to 1,000 hours, making it suitable for demanding operational conditions. Installation is straightforward thanks to a universal 50x50mm panel cut-out, and a one-year guarantee is included as standard.
Fitting a panel thickness range of 2 to 7mm, the 1256 is well suited to electrical enclosures, industrial equipment housings, and cabinet doors where vibration or handling could otherwise cause accidental opening.
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.
