The Metrol 1262-210-40 is a small over-centre draw latch in a satin chrome finish, manufactured using zinc alloy die casting and supplied with custom key locking as standard. Designed to securely close and hold panels, doors, and covers, it is commonly used in industrial equipment, electrical enclosures, cabinets, and machinery housings where controlled access and resistance to accidental opening from vibration or handling are required.
The 1262 series features a universal panel cutout (Ø3.2 x 6) that simplifies installation across a range of panel types, and the satin chrome finish has been salt spray tested to over 72 hours, confirming its durability in demanding workshop and industrial environments. The custom key locking configuration means keys are supplied with the latch, providing straightforward security without the need for additional hardware.
This latch is backed by a guaranteed one-year warranty and forms part of a wider range of latch styles and mounting options available from Metrol, allowing selection to suit varying access frequency, security level, and installation requirements.
