Schaefer Transom Door Latch Handle - Catch Plate Included

The Schaefer Transom Door Latch Handle (Model TDH-900) is a marine-grade hardware assembly designed for reliable deck access on small to mid-sized vessels. This catch-and-latch system is essential for boat design, providing secure yet quick-release closure for companionway and transom doors that endure harsh marine conditions.

Engineered by Schaefer Marine, the TDH-900 features a two-piece latch assembly, where the handle offers an ergonomic grip for easy engagement with the catch plate. The included catch plate serves as the fixed point that secures the door, and the design emphasizes positive engagement without spring-loaded components, reducing the risk of mechanical failure in salt-air environments.

Ideal for boat owners upgrading from corroded original latches, marine restoration shops, and custom builders, this latch handle fits standard deck openings without requiring structural modifications. Its robust design ensures durability, making it a reliable choice for various deck hardware applications.
