Description
Overview
This Slimline Hatch Fastener is a compact, over-centre cam catch designed for clean, low-profile closures on lockers and hatches. Built in chrome-plated cast brass with a flat mounting base, it provides reliable clamping and includes an eye to accept a 6mm padlock shackle for added security. It corresponds to Argomarine Part Number (ID) 193242. Because space is often tight on deck, the slim footprint helps avoid snags while still delivering a positive, rattle-free hold.
Features
- Over-centre action for firm, adjustable clamping and low profile.
- Chrome-plated cast brass body for corrosion resistance and durability.
- Flat base for easy surface mounting on hatches and lockers.
- Padlock eye accepts up to 6mm shackle for security.

Compatibility and Fitment
This Slimline Hatch Fastener suits flat-mount installations on lockers, doors and small deck hatches. Check the 95mm length and 32mm width against your mounting footprint and ensure adequate clearance for the lever swing. Use four countersunk screws appropriate for the substrate (not supplied). The padlock eye suits a 6mm shackle.
Compliance and Safety
Always fasten securely and verify that the over-centre lever fully seats before underway. Use marine-grade screws and a thread sealant where needed to prevent loosening. When padlocking, ensure access to safety equipment is not impeded.
Marine Applications
