AAA Plastic Flush Latch With Lock & Key is a round, flush-mounted locking latch designed to provide convenient access and controlled closure for boat hatches, storage compartments, lids, doors, and cabinets. Its recessed lift-handle design keeps the operating surface compact when closed, helping reduce protrusion from the surrounding panel. The latch includes a lock-and-key mechanism, making it useful for compartments where access needs to be restricted. It is manufactured from PC plastic and is available in two colour variants: 43002-WH in white and 43002-BK in black.

Both variants have the same stated dimensions: 60 mm diameter × 34 mm height. This uniform sizing allows buyers to select the colour that better matches the hatch, lid, cabinet, deck fitting, or surrounding interior without changing the basic product dimensions. The white 43002-WH model is suitable for light-coloured marine interiors and exterior panels, while the black 43002-BK model complements darker consoles, cabinets, storage units, and access panels. The round profile creates a clean, organised appearance when fitted into a suitable prepared mounting location.

This marine hatch latch combines three useful functions in one compact fitting: a recessed handle for lifting, a latch for holding the panel closed, and a key-operated lock for managing access. The handle can be lifted when the hatch or lid needs to be opened and returned to its flush position after use. This makes the product suitable for areas where a projecting handle could be inconvenient. As a locking flush latch, it can help keep a compatible hatch, cabinet, or compartment closed during normal use. The lock also provides an additional level of access control compared with a non-locking boat lid latch.

The AAA Plastic Flush Latch With Lock & Key can be considered for marine storage spaces such as boat lockers, under-seat compartments, equipment cabinets, inspection hatches, and general access panels, subject to the dimensions and construction of the intended installation area. It may also be used in other compatible automotive and cabinetry applications where a round plastic flush latch is required. The manufacturer identifies marine, automotive, and cabinetry uses for this product range. Before installation, buyers should compare the latch dimensions with the available mounting space, panel arrangement, and closing mechanism.

For boat owners, boatbuilders, maintenance teams, chandlers, and marine technicians, selecting the correct hatch hardware is important for both usability and appearance. A flush fitting can help maintain a less obstructed surface around frequently used storage areas. The integrated handle eliminates the need for a separate pull handle on a compatible installation, while the key lock makes this model appropriate when a lockable option is preferred. Whether it is being selected as a new boat hatch lock or as a replacement for compatible boat latches, the model number and colour should be checked before ordering.

The two available versions provide a straightforward choice. Select 43002-WH when a white plastic finish is required, or choose 43002-BK for a black plastic finish. Both are locking models and share the stated 60 mm diameter and 34 mm height. These details help distinguish them from the manufacturer’s visually similar non-locking flush-latch variants. Confirm the required colour, locking function, dimensions, mounting space, and application before purchase.
