The handle and cam assembly are molded from black nylon for corrosion resistance in marine environments, with a black finish that blends into most hatch and door hardware. A threaded offset cam bar comes with a set screw included, letting the cam be positioned to match the surface depth of the installation. A neoprene O-ring is fitted to help seal out moisture at the mounting point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe latch has a 3 inch outer diameter and requires a 2-1\/2 inch cut-out for installation, with a surface depth range of 1\/8 inch to 3\/4 inch to accommodate different panel thicknesses. The shaft is 1-3\/8 inches long unless a different length is otherwise noted for a specific configuration. Mounting fasteners are included, so no separate hardware purchase is needed to install the 3230BC. Because this is a non-locking design, it is intended for interior hatches, storage compartments, and access panels where a keyed lock is not required, rather than for securing valuables or exterior security points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e
