Perko 0769DP0CHR Hatch Fastener / Windshield Keeper, Chrome Plated Brass and Zinc Alloy

The Perko 0769DP0CHR is a hatch fastener and windshield keeper built for securing boat hatches and windshields with a positive, screw-in mount. It is made of brass and zinc alloy with a chrome plated finish, giving it corrosion resistance for marine environments along with a polished, finished appearance on deck. The keeper includes a black polymer handle for easy hand operation when opening or closing the hatch or windshield.

The assembly consists of a bracket base, a keeper arm, and a bolt, sized for a #8 screw mount. The bracket measures 1-1/2 inches by 5/8 inch, the keeper measures 1-1/2 inches by 3/4 inch, and the bolt length is 1-1/2 inches. The face plate measures 3-11/16 inches by 1-11/16 inches. This is a compact, general-purpose piece of deck hardware intended for hatches and windshields that need a simple locking fastener rather than a hinge or latch mechanism.

Perko also offers the individual keeper and handle-with-stud as separate spare parts, so a damaged handle or keeper can be replaced without swapping the entire bracket assembly.
