Sea-Dog Windshield Latch 324110-1, Single Wing Nylon Latch, 1-9/16 Inch Length
Sea-Dog Windshield Latch 324110-1, Single Wing Nylon Latch, 1-9/16 Inch Length
The Sea-Dog 324110-1 is a single wing windshield latch used to secure windshield doors and panels on boats with a simple twist-to-lock design. It is molded from UV resistant black nylon, giving it long-term resistance to sun exposure and saltwater environments without becoming brittle or discolored over time. The latch's twist action holds the windshield door firmly closed, preventing the rattling and vibration that can loosen fittings and wear hardware during high-speed running.
This single wing configuration measures 1-9/16 inches in total length with a 5/8 inch tab height and a 1/8 inch tab lift (the distance from the bottom of the latch to the bottom of the tab), making it a compact fitting suited to standard boat windshield door frames. Because it is made from molded nylon rather than metal, it will not corrode or develop rust stains on surrounding gelcoat or hardware, and it stays lightweight for repeated opening and closing. Each latch is a single-count unit for one latch point; buyers replacing multiple points on a windshield door should order the quantity needed to match their existing hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Sea-Dog 324110-1 used for? It is a single wing windshield latch that secures boat windshield doors closed with a simple twist action, preventing them from rattling loose from engine vibration at high speeds.
What size is this latch? The Sea-Dog 324110-1 measures 1-9/16 inches in total length, with a tab height of 5/8 inch, a tab width of 3/16 inch, and a tab lift of 1/8 inch from the bottom of the latch to the bottom of the tab.
What material is the 324110-1 latch made from? It is made of injection molded nylon that is UV resistant, so the black finish holds up to sun exposure without becoming brittle or fading like some plastics.
Will this latch corrode or rust? No. Because the Sea-Dog 324110-1 is molded nylon rather than metal, it will not corrode or rust in saltwater or marine air, unlike metal windshield hardware.
Does this come in a pair for both sides of the windshield door? The 324110-1 is sold as a single latch unit. Buyers needing latches at multiple points on a windshield door should order the quantity of individual units required.
Is this latch color matched or paintable? It is molded in black nylon as its permanent finish; it is not designed to be repainted since the color is integral to the molded material.
How does the latch stay closed against vibration? The single wing design uses a twist-to-lock action that holds the windshield door firmly shut, which is specifically intended to resist the rattling caused by engine vibration at speed.
What is the difference between this and the larger single wing latch in the same series? The 324110-1 has a 1-9/16 inch length with a 1/8 inch tab lift, while other single wing latches in the Sea-Dog line share similar lengths but differ in tab width and tab lift dimensions, so the exact part number should be matched to the existing hardware being replaced.
What is included when I order the 324110-1? Each order includes one Sea-Dog 324110-1 single wing windshield latch.
Is the Sea-Dog 324110-1 genuine Sea-Dog hardware? Yes, it is a genuine Sea-Dog part identified by the manufacturer part number 324110-1, not a generic aftermarket substitute.
