Built to hold up to the marine environment, the nylon housing resists the corrosion that would quickly degrade a metal latch exposed to saltwater and UV. The latch is easy to install and comes complete with the mounting screws needed to mount it, so no separate hardware purchase is required. Its compact size (5.88 x 2.94 x 1.5 inches) allows it to fit into tight spaces around hatch frames, window surrounds, and door edges without adding bulk. This latch is a straightforward, functional fitting rather than a decorative one, making it a practical choice for boat owners doing routine maintenance, replacing a worn or broken latch, or outfitting a new hatch or door installation. At 0.17 pounds, it is light enough that it will not add meaningful weight to the fitting it is mounted on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taylor Made Products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 551\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.88 x 2.94 x 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.81 x 3.15 x 1.42 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.17 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 040011115515\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Boat Hatches \u0026amp; Adjusters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e Utility latch and mounting screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Taylor Made Products Utility Latch used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Taylor Made Products Utility Latch, part 551, is used to secure hatches, windows, doors, and similar openings on a boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the Taylor Made Utility Latch 551 made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made of rugged black nylon, which resists the corrosion that metal hardware can develop in a marine environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Utility Latch 551 come with mounting hardware?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the package includes mounting screws along with the latch itself, so it is ready to install without buying separate hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Taylor Made Utility Latch weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Taylor Made Products Utility Latch 551 weighs 0.17 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the Utility Latch 551?\u003c\/strong\u003e The latch measures 5.88 x 2.94 x 1.5 inches, and it ships in packaging measuring 6.81 x 3.15 x 1.42 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Taylor Made Utility Latch easy to install?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, part 551 is designed for easy installation and includes the mounting screws needed to fit it to a hatch, window, or door.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this latch sold as a single unit or in pairs?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Taylor Made Utility Latch 551 listing describes it as sold in pairs, giving two latches per package for matching openings such as a pair of hatch or window latches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the Taylor Made Utility Latch 551?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Utility Latch 551 is black.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the Utility Latch 551 be used on windows as well as hatches?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, Taylor Made designed the 551 latch for hatches, windows, doors, and similar applications on a boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the Taylor Made Utility Latch 551?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for the Taylor Made Products Utility Latch, part number 551, is 040011115515.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor Made Products","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48989672866011,"sku":"NAT-551","price":23.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/nat-551_lg__67522.1558117638.500.750.jpg?v=1785188245","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/taylor-made-products-551-utility-latch-for-boat-hatches-windows-and-doors-black-nylon-screws-included","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
