Sea-Dog Push Button Cabinet Latch 225420-1, Rectangular, Investment Cast 316 Stainless Steel

The Sea-Dog Push Button Cabinet Latch (part number 225420-1) is a rectangular-style latch that functions as both a latch and a handle in one compact fitting. Push button operation activates and secures the latch with a simple, deliberate motion, and a positive action locking function keeps cabinet doors from swinging open while underway. The sleek, low-profile design keeps the latch out of the way in tight spaces, making it a good fit for glove compartments and other confined cabinet openings aboard a boat, RV, or similar installation.

This latch is constructed of investment cast 316 stainless steel with chrome plated brass, giving it strong resistance to corrosion in a marine environment. It is suitable for left-hand or right-hand side use, so it is not limited to a single door orientation. Installation is straightforward: a single 3/4 inch hole is bored through the door or panel, and the latch mounts through that opening. A mating catch is included, so everything needed to complete the installation is in the package. The rectangular shape and dimensions listed below should be checked against the cabinet door thickness and existing hardware footprint before ordering.
