Flush mount locking hatch latch.

[Nasher]

Anyone know anywhere in the UK that sells a flush mounting hatch lock/latch similar to either of these two?

But could do with something a little cheaper.

Its the cost of the shipping that scares me, puts them out of my budget, must be something a bit closer to home.

Ah yes it is a bit steep for such a small item, 1 of them its more than the item itself!

Someone will be along soon with the name of a uk firm that does loads of hinges, catches etc, I cant remember it now. Links have been posted before so a search on here might find it.

Hi, I buy from Protex for work, but haven't found anything in their range thats suits my need.
I have a couple of their over-centre latches holding my console door closed and they are VERY nice, well made, pieces of kit.

I used Southco for stuff like that a few years ago, dont know if they are still around.
From memory they did allsorts of latches, catches and hinges.

I used these on my boat. Got them from the Barge in Bursledon last year and they had loads of them (But was a year ago) were a £5er each.

In actual fact Nasher, how many do you want? I have 1 spare one that never got used.

Andy Hi.

If you want your fiver back on your spare I'll let you have it at the Church tomorrow night.

As you know I only need 1 for my auto opening glove box

That's what I figured, but wanted to make sure. I'll have a dig around after the Kids are in bed.

It's my cousins company - We use one of these http://www.protex.com/product.asp?in...lush%20Latches to keep our hatch closed on the race boat - this was a plastic one, not sure if it's in production yet?

Cookee Hi.

I did see those Protex ones and considered them seriously, however i didn't think they lookled very watertight because of the way you push the latch into the locker to open it.
Is there a seal around them to stop the water getting in when closed?

Sorry, confused, which company is your cousins?

I wouldn't say watertight, but we use it in the floor locker in the 770's (stainless version) and on the race boat, neither of which are very critical, it depends on the use. it may be possible to fabricate something to keep the water out if you really like it or thee is nothing else available! Protex is my cousins company, parent company H S Cooke - my grandfather!

[Nasher]

Thanks Cookee

Have to say Protex do make good quality gear.
I've some of their gear on my boat and we use it at McMurdo.

I bought a couple of these from Alexander Industrial in the uk. They are Southco latches and are fantastic quality and waterproof, but they cost about £40 each . I paid up cos they were the only thing I could find that would do the job and give a really smart finish.
