MIZUGIWA Marine Boat Stainless Steel Flush Hatch Lift - Locking Style

Looks to be a great high quality latch, I had to return it as it didnt fit my application, my fault.

Replaced plastic latch that was breaking down, easy to install and lock.

I love the recessed look they provideI love that they lockI love that they seemed to be the only locking foldable handle that would work with my camper rear galley doorI love the stainless/chrome colorI love that there are 2 options for the depth of the locking arm.What I think can be improved are as follows.The lock key is cheaply formed, like a toy I had for an easily bypassed piggy bank as a childI found that the (Metric) Allen set screw when holds the inside locking arm/lever/thing that you cannot see came loose on my first voyage down the road, I can chalk that up to maybe not tightening it enough, it could probably use some thread sealer like locktite on it.The diameter of the hole that you need to drill to inset the hatch handle is (Metric) I had a slightly smaller hole saw in American units, and lucky for me the material was fiberglass and XPS foam board and 1/4 plywood, so I could ram it through that undersized 1/8" of an inch opening.The metal "I'll call it a washer" or plate that goes on the opposite side of the door is nearly, or very close the size of the hole you drill for the unit to fit, they should manufacture it to be a bit larger. In my case the fiberglass and foam and plywood slightly compressed, while I tightened down the machine screws that hold it in place. It has the ability to jostle around during transport. I will probably have to fabricate a large washer, an extra 2" in diameter to feel comfortable never having to touch it again.For the price, I can't beat it if I tried.I didn't really want to cheap out on this item as it will be used often and is also the pull point for the 50 lbs. rear galley door, BUT it was the only one that I could find which had the long enough inside lever/locking arm thing to close against the frame without modifying anything.

Worked well

They are great got for my boat look great

This latch lock feel apart in about a month. Not the greatest design.

Is good product

Latches work good. The locking mechanism is cheap and spins on its own but I don’t intend to use locks.
