Sea-Dog Anti-Rattle Latch 221100-1, Stainless Steel Cam Latch for Cabinets, Doors and Hatches

The Sea-Dog Anti-Rattle Latch (221100-1) is an open-mount, center-tensioning cam latch built to keep cabinet doors, hatches, and compartment lids from rattling or working loose underway. The cam-action mechanism pulls the door or hatch tight against its frame as the latch is turned, eliminating the play that causes noise and wear over time. It is constructed of investment cast 316 stainless steel, a marine-grade alloy chosen for its resistance to corrosion in saltwater environments, so the latch holds up to long-term exposure without pitting or rusting.

Beyond tensioning, the latch includes a locking hole that accepts a padlock with a shank up to 1/4 inch in diameter, giving boat owners the option to secure cabinets or hatches against unauthorized access. It surface mounts using four #10 flat head fasteners (sold separately), making it a straightforward replacement or new installation for galley cabinets, storage lockers, engine hatches, and similar compartments aboard a boat.
