Michael: Hi there. I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a quick look at the pedal handle locking latch. This is going to keep your door or panel closed. It's very easy to operate. It's spring loaded.
That latch is always going to rest in the closed position. This will lock with the included key to make sure that you can't open that latch. Turn this around, you can see we also have a release knob here that's going to allow us to open the latch from the inside. So, if we're using this on a door, we can easily open that up, or if it's under the compartment, good safety measure to make sure that if someone we're to get caught in that compartment, they could open it up from the inside. They wouldn't be stuck in there.This is a nice sturdy zinc plated steel construction.
So, it's going to be very durable and resist corrosion. I'll just give you a little bit of the backside view here. As I'm opening this up, you can see that our keeper is being retracted. And then when I turn the key to lock it in place, that's going to prevent our latch from opening up. And if I move that, it allows us to bring it up again from either the inside or the outside.Now, the important thing to know for any locking latch like this, it's going to be the dimensions.
So, this is going to have an overall length right about five-and-a-half inches. Overall width, you can call it at about four-and-a-quarter. Our cut out dimensions, we're going to be looking at right about four-and-five-eighths, just over four-and-a-half inches for our cutout. And then our cutout width, we're going to be right about three-and-three-eighths of an inch.Overall, I think this is going to be a great option for those of you who are needing to either add a latch or replace a current one. I think this is going to hold up well for you and be very strong, durable, and to help to make sure that your compartment not only stays closed, but also can be locked so you can keep all your valuables inside without having to worry about anyone getting to them.
So, that's going to complete our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching.

Hey Sharon, is the handle as a whole loose or is it just the lock cylinder itself? Just trying to see what routes we can take to get that more secure for you.

It’s still working just like it did when we first put it on the door.

On the product description page, we list that the overall dimensions of the latch is 5-12 long x 4-14 inches wide and that it fits a rough opening 4-58 long x 3-38 inches wide.

Glad you like it, Marcia! Well, except for it just coming with one key. That is a little surprising and I will see if I can get with Polar Hardware to include two from now on. It would make more sense. What did you install this on?
