The Metrol 1420-18048-20 is a quarter turn lock featuring an 8mm square cylinder profile and an 18mm barrel (grip) height, finished in black powder coat. Manufactured by Metrol under model series 1420, it is suited to panel and enclosure fastening applications where a secure, tool-operable quarter turn closure is required.
The lock mechanism is constructed using zinc alloy die casting and carries a sealed IP65 rating, indicating resistance to dust ingress and low-pressure water jets. The black-coated finish provides corrosion resistance appropriate for indoor and sheltered-outdoor panel environments. A panel cutout of 20.1 x 20.1 mm is required for installation, and the lock accommodates panel thicknesses from 1 mm to 8 mm.
The 1420 model series accepts several cam profiles, allowing the fastening throw and engagement depth to be matched to the panel assembly. The square 8mm drive is operated with a standard square key or appropriate tool. The source notes that the broader range also encompasses zinc die cast and stainless steel 316 material options within the product family.
