Southco Grabber Catch Latch
The Southco Grabber Catch Latch is a side-mount latch assembly designed for marine applications. It uses a spring-loaded over-center mechanism to secure doors or hatches. The unit includes both catch and keeper in a single black PC/ABS housing. It suits builders who need a compact, corrosion-resistant fastening solution.
Pull-up force rated at 44N (10lbf)
The latch delivers a pull-up force of 44N (10lbf) and operates reliably from -30ºC (-20ºF) to 60ºC (140ºF). Its UL94-HB flammability rating confirms baseline fire performance for enclosed marine spaces. The polymer construction resists UV exposure and salt spray during extended use. It is not for buyers who need a higher holding force or a metal-bodied latch.
Side-mount installation with keeper orientation
Install by orienting the keeper so its arrow points toward the cam, then mount to the door and adjust for smooth latching. A minimum clearance from the frame or mounting surface is required for proper engagement. Misaligned keeper orientation is the most common cause of binding or incomplete closure. The one-piece assembly reduces loose parts but demands accurate hole placement.

Questions about this item
How much heat can the black PC/ABS latch handle before it softens?
The latch is rated for continuous operation up to 60°C (140°F) and carries a UL94-HB flammability rating.
What mounting hardware do I need to supply myself?
You must provide the screws or rivets to fasten both the catch and keeper to your door and frame.
Will the 44 N pull-up force still hold if my door panel warps slightly over time?
The spring-loaded over-center action tolerates some misalignment, but the keeper arrow must still point toward the cam for reliable latching.
