The Metrol 1271-00-30 is a non-locking, over-centre draw latch handle finished in bright chrome, manufactured in die cast zinc. Designed as an access hardware component, it is suited to securing panels, doors, and covers on industrial equipment, electrical enclosures, cabinets, and machinery housings while still permitting quick, controlled access when required.
The bright chrome finish has been salt spray tested to over 72 hours, offering a degree of corrosion resistance appropriate to workshop and light-industrial environments. The latch features a universal panel cut-out to Ø5.3 × 6, which simplifies installation across a range of panel thicknesses and materials. A stainless steel alternative is available within the range for applications demanding enhanced corrosion resistance.
The 1271 series is available in various lock types to suit differing security and access requirements; this variant — suffix 00-30 — is the non-locking configuration in bright chrome. The over-centre mechanism provides positive retention, helping to prevent accidental opening caused by vibration or repeated handling during day-to-day operation. The product carries a one-year guarantee.
