The Metrol 1420-18037-20 is a quarter turn tri-lock cylinder featuring a 7mm triangle key operation and an 18mm barrel grip height, finished in black powder coat. Manufactured under the Metrol Model 1420 range, it is designed for secure panel fastening in enclosures and cabinets where a standardised triangle cylinder is specified.
The lock body is constructed using zinc alloy die casting with a black powder coated finish, offering a clean, corrosion-resistant appearance suited to control panels, electrical enclosures, and industrial cabinet doors. It achieves IP65-grade weather sealing, confirming resistance to dust ingress and low-pressure water jets — a practical consideration for workshop and light industrial environments.
The required panel cutout requirement is 20.1 x 20.1 mm, and the lock accommodates panel thicknesses from 1 mm to 8 mm, providing flexibility across a range of fabricated enclosure materials. A cam option is noted as a range available, allowing the appropriate cam to be selected to suit the panel depth and latch geometry of the application.
This listing covers the black powder coated die cast zinc alloy variant. The source also references a stainless steel 316 material option within the 1420 series, which may be available separately.
