Perko 0559DP Slam Cam Bar with Emergency Hatch Release, Chrome Plated

The Perko 0559DP is a slam cam bar latch with an emergency hatch release, built for securing boat cabinet doors and hatches with a simple push-to-close action. The body is constructed of zinc-alloy for durability in a marine cabin environment, finished with a chrome plated body and a black strike for a clean, corrosion-resistant look at the closure point. A polymer release knob and strike allow the hatch to be opened from the inside in an emergency, so the latch is not solely dependent on the exterior slam-shut mechanism.

The catch opening measures 1-3/8 inches by 7/8 inches, and the overall latch length is 3-1/2 inches. The strike box position adjusts 5/16 inch horizontally and 1/2 inch vertically, while the cam bar itself adjusts 1 inch vertically and 9/16 inch laterally, allowing the latch to be fine-tuned for a tight, rattle-free fit on the door or hatch frame. Mounting is done with #10-24 screws. The 0559DP is sold as a retail package of 2, making it easy to outfit a pair of cabinet doors or hatches in one purchase.
