Product Spotlight – L101 Series: Flush Pull Ring Latch (Stainless Steel)

Low-Profile, Heavy-Duty Latch for Demanding Applications in Harsh Environments

In marine vessels, service vehicles, outdoor enclosures, and industrial cabinets, manufactures face a recurring challenge: Enclosure access hardware that must be flush, durable, highly corrosion-resistant, and safe.

Common issues arise when these requirements are not met:

• Latches that protrude or snag in tight spaces, walkways, or vehicle bodies
  
  
• Corrosion or seizing in saltwater, coastal, or outdoor conditions
  
  
• Lack of emergency internal release, creating safety risks
  
  
• Incompatibility with medium to heavy doors or variable panel thicknesses

The L101 Series: Flush Pull Ring Latch is engineered to solve all these problems, combining marine-grade materials, high working load, and flush functionality.

Why the L101 Series Stands Out

Constructed from marine-grade 316 stainless steel with an electropolished finish, the L101 Series is designed for full-exposure outdoor and marine use.

Key capabilities include:

• Grip range: 7–12 mm panel thickness
  
  
• Maximum working load: 835 N (~187 lbf)
  
  
• Rear-fix mounting: Secures the latch from inside the panel for clean aesthetics and reduced tampering risk
  
  
• Emergency internal release: Functions regardless of external locked/unlocked status

Key Features and Benefits

• Flush Pull-Ring Design: Sits flush in a Ø50 mm cut-out, minimizing interference and snag hazards — ideal for high-traffic or tight spaces.
  
  
• Marine-Grade 316 Stainless Steel: Premium resistance to corrosion, salt spray, moisture, and UV exposure — perfect for coastal or marine applications.
  
  
• Locking and Non-Locking Variants: Selectable configuration for secure or unrestricted access. (replacement key sets available)
  
  
• Emergency Internal Actuation: Safety feature ensures personnel can exit even if the latch is locked externally.
  
  
• High Working Load: Handles panels up to 835 N, suitable for medium to heavy doors or compartments.
  
  
• Rear-Fix Mounting (M5 × 20 mm screws): Enhances security while maintaining a clean exterior appearance.

Technical Specifications

Specification	Value	Notes
Material	Stainless Steel 316	Marine-grade, polished finish
Finish	Electropolished	Enhanced corrosion resistance
Grip (Panel) Range	7–12 mm	Medium-thickness panels
Cut-out	Ø50 mm	Single round hole required
Max Working Load	835 N (~187 lbf)	Heavy-duty performance
Fixing Screws	M5 × 20 mm	Rear-mounted
Locking Options	Lockable / Non-locking	Choose based on security requirements

Pro Tip: Ensure panel thickness is within the specified 7–12 mm range and use the rear-fix screws to maintain flush aesthetics and prevent tampering.

Performance Advantages

Compared to standard flush pulls or non-locking latches:

• Marine-grade construction ensures long-term performance in corrosive environments.
  
  
• Emergency internal release enhances safety for enclosed compartments.
  
  
• Rear-fix mounting provides cleaner aesthetics and increased security.
  
  
• Selectable locking/non-locking options add specification flexibility.
  

Ideal Applications

• Marine vessels & commercial craft: Flush access hatches and panels resistant to saltwater.
  
  
• Service vehicles, trailers, and toolboxes: Low-profile, heavy-duty access in mobile conditions.
  
  
• Outdoor enclosures & cabinets: Secure, corrosion-resistant access for instrumentation or electrical panels.
  
  
• Industrial machinery: Panels or doors requiring flush aesthetics, high load capacity, and durable operation.
