Value Collection 97-50-161-11-2 Draw Door Latch Steel Medium

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 97-50-161-11-2 is a medium-sized draw door latch constructed from steel with a zinc plate bright chromate dip finish. Draw latches use a pivoting hook and keeper mechanism to pull two surfaces together and hold them firmly closed. This latch is suited for enclosures, panels, access doors, junction boxes, and similar applications where a secure, compact draw closure is required. At 0.89 inches wide, 0.57 inches tall, and 3.34 inches in length, it is a compact unit designed for light-duty to medium-duty installations. The bright chromate dip finish provides corrosion resistance in indoor and light-exposure environments. Installation is straightforward and within reach of general maintenance and electrical trades.

This draw latch is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications including electrical enclosures, HVAC access panels, equipment cabinets, and utility doors. Its compact footprint and standard mounting hole spacing of 0.688 inches makes it compatible with common panel layouts. It ships individually and is well suited for single-unit replacement or small-quantity maintenance work.
