Sierra MP49430 Locking Glove Box Latch - Turn-to-Open, Black Glass Reinforced Polyester, 3/4 Inch Panel

The Sierra MP49430 is a locking latch built for glove boxes, storage compartments, and access panels aboard a boat. It uses a turn-to-open mechanism rather than a finger-pull design, giving a cleaner, snag-free surface on the panel while still allowing quick one-hand operation. Because it is a locking latch, it is supplied with 2 keys so the compartment can be secured when the boat is unattended.

The latch body is molded from black glass reinforced polyester, a material chosen for its total resistance to corrosion in the marine environment, which makes it a durable choice for saltwater or freshwater use where metal latches would eventually pit or seize. The finish is black, and the latch is sized for a 1 inch hole with a 1 inch depth, designed to be installed in a panel that is 3/4 inch thick.
