Extra-flat latch (1 piece)

The DU-BRO "Hatch Latch" latch is a simple, lightweight, and reliable solution for securing hatches, doors, access panels, and removable covers on radio-controlled planes, boats, cars, and other modeling projects. Designed with a discreet profile and a smooth spring locking system, it provides a clean and flush fit that preserves the aesthetics of your model while securely holding the panels in place during use.

With a length of approximately 1 inch (25.4 mm) and a width of 3/8 inch (9.525 mm), the Hatch Latch is compact enough for small models yet sturdy enough for larger aircraft. The locking mechanism uses a small internal spring that securely snaps into place, ensuring that the hatch remains closed during flight, landing, or transport. When access is needed, simply pull the latch to release the panel—no tools are required.

Installation is quick and easy. The latch attaches using CA glue (cyanoacrylate), making it easy to secure to balsa, plywood, foam, and many composite surfaces. Once installed, it can be painted to match your model's colors or concealed among scale details.

Weighing only 0.75 grams, the hatch latch adds virtually no weight to your aircraft or project, making it ideal for electric models, gliders, and other lightweight constructions where every gram counts.

This latch is perfect for:

Battery hatches

Radio compartments

Fuel access hatches

Scale aircraft panels

RC boat hatch covers

Miniature car body panels

Robotics and DIY projects

Whether you are building a new model or upgrading an existing one, the DU-BRO hatch latch provides a sturdy, sleek, and easy-to-use locking solution you can rely on.

Proudly made in the USA, it offers the durability and quality that DU-BRO is known for.
