Whitecap Industries 6838C Black Rubber Draw Latch with Stainless Steel Oval Keeper

The Whitecap Industries 6838C is a packaged black rubber draw latch designed to keep cabinet doors, hatches, and lockers secured against vibration and movement while underway. The latch body is molded from black rubber, giving it flex and grip that hold a door firmly shut while resisting the shock and rattling common in a marine environment. It is supplied with a stainless steel oval keeper, the mating strike plate that the rubber latch loop hooks over to complete the closure. Stainless steel construction on the keeper provides corrosion resistance for the wet, salt-air conditions typical of onboard cabinetry, galley compartments, and storage lockers. The 6838C is sold packaged as a complete unit, so both the rubber latch and its keeper are included and ready to mount. At 0.1 pounds, it is a lightweight hardware item suited to smaller doors and compartments where a compact, low-profile latch is preferred over a bulkier metal draw catch.
