Whitecap Mini Slam Latch Stainless Steel Non-Locking Pull Ring

The Whitecap Mini Slam Latch Stainless Steel Non-Locking Pull Ring (MPN 6137C) is a compact marine-grade fastening solution designed for applications requiring secure, quick-access latching without permanent locking mechanisms. Built for boat hardware, access panels, storage compartments, and equipment doors, this non-locking latch combines durability with user-friendly operation. The pull-ring design allows one-handed engagement and release, making it ideal for situations where frequent access is necessary without the complexity of keyed or locking systems.

Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, this mini slam latch delivers exceptional corrosion resistance and longevity in harsh saltwater and demanding industrial environments. The 1-3/4" flange provides a wide clamping surface for secure mounting on material thicknesses ranging from 5/16" to 7/16", while the compact 1/2" depth minimizes protrusion and clearance interference. 316 stainless steel is superior to 304 variants—offering enhanced molybdenum content that resists pitting and crevice corrosion in marine applications. The included fastener eliminates the need for sourcing compatible hardware, streamlining installation and ensuring proper fit.

Boating enthusiasts, marine contractors, and equipment manufacturers benefit most from this stainless steel latch's reliability and weather-resistant construction. Installation is straightforward: simply position the flange against your panel or access door, align the fastener holes, and secure using provided hardware. The non-locking design means there is no key management, making it perfect for crew-accessible hatches, locker doors, and emergency compartments where speed and simplicity are paramount. Verify that your material thickness falls within the specified 5/16" to 7/16" range for optimal clamping performance and longevity.
