Southco Pop-Out Knob Latch Plastic Chrome Plated Fixed Grip Threaded Body .05-.75

The Southco Pop-Out Knob Latch Plastic Chrome Plated Fixed Grip Threaded Body .05-.75 is a marine-grade latching solution purpose-built for deck hardware, hatch covers, and storage compartment access on boats and watercraft. Anglers and boaters who demand reliable, corrosion-resistant hardware know that saltwater and freshwater environments demand fasteners that won't rust or seize—especially when you're miles from the dock. This threaded-body latch delivers quick, tool-free operation when you need to access tackle storage, engine compartments, or cabin doors in the field.

Constructed from grade ABS plastic with a chrome-plated finish, this pop-out knob latch resists the corrosive effects of saltwater spray and UV exposure that degrade unprotected steel hardware over seasons of use. The fixed grip design provides secure, ergonomic engagement—critical when operating latches with wet hands or gloved fingers in heavy seas. The threaded body (.05-.75 specification) accommodates a range of panel thicknesses and mounting configurations, making it adaptable to various vessel types, from center console fishing boats to larger cabin cruisers. Chrome plating adds both aesthetic finish and an additional protective barrier against oxidation.

Boaters upgrading deck hardware or replacing worn latches will appreciate the no-nonsense design and compact footprint—at just 4 inches long and 0.1 pounds, installation requires minimal effort and no specialized tools. The pop-out knob operates without positional restrictions, allowing smooth engagement and disengagement regardless of approach angle. Whether securing a rod storage locker, battery box, or fuel hatch, this Southco latch provides the reliability and corrosion resistance that serious anglers and cruising boaters expect from marine hardware rated for year-round water exposure.
