Value Collection S36EXXXXBEXX Hood Door Latch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION S36EXXXXBEXX is a hood door latch designed for securing hood panels and access doors in industrial, commercial, and equipment enclosure applications. Built to straightforward dimensional tolerances, this latch measures 2-11/16 inches in overall width and 1-15/32 inches in overall height, with a 9/32-inch hole diameter for mounting hardware. The 4-1/2-inch overall length provides adequate lever travel for reliable engagement. A black finish gives it a clean, corrosion-resistant appearance suited to both indoor and light-duty outdoor enclosures. Maintenance technicians and equipment assemblers are the primary installers of this hardware.

This hood door latch is intended for use on equipment hoods, control panel doors, access hatches, and similar enclosures where a secure but operable closure is required. It suits residential and light commercial equipment cabinets, generator enclosures, HVAC unit panels, and general industrial sheet-metal housings. The compact footprint makes it appropriate for tight panel layouts where larger draw latches or cam locks would not fit. Sold individually, it is a direct replacement or new-installation option for hood panels requiring a low-profile latch solution.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or equipment assemblers using standard hand tools. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before working on panel hardware. Verify that the mounting surface thickness and hole pattern match the latch dimensions before installation. Do not overtighten fasteners through the 9/32-inch mounting holes, as this may distort the latch body or panel material.
