The Metrol 1271-00-10 is a non-locking, over-centre draw latch handle finished in black powder coat, manufactured with a die cast zinc body. Designed as access hardware for securely closing and holding panels, doors, and covers, it allows quick, controlled access whilst preventing accidental opening caused by vibration or routine handling. The latch is suited to industrial equipment, electrical enclosures, cabinets, and machinery housings where repeatable day-to-day operation is required.
The black powder coat finish has been salt spray tested to over 300 hours, providing meaningful resistance to corrosion in demanding workshop and industrial environments. The 1271 model features a universal panel cutout of Ø5.3 x 6, simplifying installation across compatible enclosures and panels. For applications requiring additional finish durability or aesthetics, a stainless steel alternative is available within the range.
This non-locking variant is the appropriate choice where secure closure without a keyed or tool-operated mechanism is needed. The over-centre action delivers positive hold under vibration without the complexity of a lock cylinder, keeping access efficient in high-frequency-use situations.
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.
