Whitecap 316 Stainless Bird-Handle Slam Latch

The bird-shaped handle distinguishes this Whitecap stainless slam latch from its I-handle counterpart. It is a non-locking fitting with a supplied striker plate. The latch is intended for a hatch or access compartment that needs a quick mechanical closure.

Its flange measures 2-3/8 in and the listed fitting depth is 1-1/2 in. Mounting fasteners are included. Compare these measurements and the handle clearance with the existing latch location.

The shaped handle gives users a different grip on the closure. Set the striker to engage properly when the hatch closes. Choose a locking mechanism instead if the compartment must be secured with a key. Find related fittings in mounting and rigging hardware.
