TACO Latch-tite™ Stainless Steel 2-7/16" Square

The TACO Latch-tite™ Stainless Steel 2-7/16" Square is a marine-grade latch assembly designed for securing hatches, cabin doors, and access panels on boats and recreational vessels. Built by TACO Marine—a trusted name in marine hardware for decades—this latch system delivers the reliability and corrosion resistance that serious anglers and boaters demand in saltwater and freshwater environments. Whether you're securing a tackle locker on a center console, locking down a cabin hatch on a cruiser, or fastening equipment compartments on a multi-day offshore expedition, this stainless steel latch provides dependable holding power and years of trouble-free service.

Constructed from premium stainless steel, the TACO Latch-tite™ resists rust and corrosion even in harsh marine environments where salt spray and moisture are constant threats. The 2-7/16" square form factor fits standard marine hatch and door frames, providing a compact yet robust fastening solution that won't fail when you're miles from shore. The Latch-tite™ design features a positive-locking mechanism that holds securely without drift or rattle, critical for protecting gear and maintaining cabin integrity during heavy seas or extended cruising. Stainless construction means minimal maintenance—no painting, no treating, no rust surprises when you open your locker after a season of storage.

Boat owners upgrading aging hardware or building custom installations will appreciate the professional-grade quality and compact 3 x 2 x 3-inch footprint that fits most standard hatch and door applications. Installation is straightforward on new builds or retrofit projects—compatible with typical through-bolt mounting on plywood, fiberglass, and composite cabin structures. This latch is ideal for anglers who demand equipment security during tournaments, long days on the water, or rough-weather passages where loose gear becomes a liability. TACO's engineering ensures this hardware will outlast the boat itself, making it a smart investment for any serious boater.
