Sea-Dog Push Button Cabinet Latch - Rectangular

The Sea-Dog Push Button Cabinet Latch in rectangular configuration is a corrosion-resistant stainless steel latch designed for securing cabinet doors and compartments in marine and tactical environments. Built from 316 stainless steel, this latch functions as both a locking mechanism and a handle, combining two components into one compact installation. The push-button activation system delivers positive-action locking that prevents unintended door opening during transport, movement, or rough handling—a critical consideration for equipment storage in vehicles, vessels, or field operations where vibration and motion are constant factors.

Installation is straightforward: a single 3/4-inch bore hole accommodates the entire assembly, reducing fabrication time and minimizing structural stress on cabinet walls. The low-profile rectangular design fits into tight spaces without protruding excessively, making it suitable for compact storage configurations common in tactical vehicles, armory cabinets, and watercraft. The latch accepts left or right-hand mounting, providing flexibility in cabinet layout and operational workflow. 316 stainless steel resists salt-air corrosion and chloride-induced degradation, essential for coastal operations and maritime applications where standard steel would rapidly degrade.

This latch is specified for equipment cabinets, ammunition storage boxes, vehicle compartments, and marine hatches where positive latching prevents accidental opening under dynamic conditions. Law enforcement and military personnel value push-button latches for their tactile feedback and deliberate operation—accidental activation is nearly impossible, yet release is immediate when needed. The robust stainless steel construction supports repeated cycling without wear or binding, critical for equipment that sees frequent daily access in demanding environments.

Sea-Dog marine hardware is recognized for reliability in saltwater and harsh industrial settings. This cabinet latch represents standard-issue specification hardware for tactical and maritime applications where corrosion resistance and consistent mechanical function are non-negotiable.
