1256-00-7-316 — the Metrol 1256 is a non-locking slam latch in polished stainless steel 316, designed to securely close and hold panels, doors, and covers while allowing quick, controlled access when needed. Suited to industrial equipment, electrical enclosures, cabinets, and machinery housings, it helps prevent accidental opening from vibration or handling and supports repeatable day-to-day operation.
Constructed from grade 316 stainless steel with a polished finish, the latch accepts a universal 50x50mm panel cut-out and is suitable for panel thicknesses between 7mm and 12mm. The non-locking slam action provides straightforward, tool-free access — release requires no key or separate fastening step.
The latch has been salt spray tested to over 360 hours, confirming suitability for demanding or corrosive environments. A 1-year guarantee is included.
