Perko 1102DP1CHR Cupboard Catch, Chrome Plated Zinc Alloy Box Strike Latch

The Perko 1102DP1CHR is a cupboard catch designed to keep cabinet doors securely closed aboard a boat, where cabinet contents need to stay put in rough water. It is made of zinc alloy with a chrome plated finish, giving it a bright, corrosion-resistant appearance that matches other chrome marine hardware. This catch is the box strike version (Fig. 1102, No. 1) and is supplied with its matching box strike, so everything needed for a standard installation is included in the package. The catch uses #6 screws for mounting to the cabinet frame and door. Overall dimensions are 1-1/2 inch by 1-7/8 inch. Installation is straightforward: the catch body mounts to the cabinet frame and the box strike mounts to the door (or vice versa) so the two engage when the door is closed, holding it shut until manually released. Perko also offers a companion offset box strike version, the 1102DP2CHR, for cabinets that need up to 3/16 inch of additional offset; that version includes a spacer for the extra clearance. Because it is sold as a retail package, the 1102DP1CHR is ready to install without sourcing additional strike hardware separately.
