The Metrol 1256-00-2-30 is a non-locking slam latch finished in bright chrome, designed for securing panels, doors, and covers in industrial equipment, electrical enclosures, cabinets, and machinery housings. Constructed from acetal plastic and die-cast zinc alloy, it accepts a universal 50x50mm panel cutout and suits panel thicknesses from 2mm to 7mm.
The bright chrome finish has been salt spray tested to over 72 hours, providing a degree of corrosion resistance appropriate for general industrial environments. The latch body carries a UL94 V-0 flame retardant rating and UV resistance of up to 1,000 hours, making it suited to installations where thermal and light exposure is a consideration.
As a slam latch, the 1256 closes and holds panels securely on contact, preventing accidental opening from vibration or repeated handling, whilst still permitting quick, controlled access during routine maintenance and operation. The non-locking configuration is well suited to applications where tool-free or keyless access is required. The latch is guaranteed for one year.

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.
