Product Description
Price is for each.
Manufacturer Part Number: S-0250
316 Stainless Steel
Ergonomically designed handle
Includes threaded nut for even installation pressure
Requires Double-D cut-out to prevent water leakage
* Key sold separately for locking model, PN S-0251KEY
Handle can be opened, latch rotated 360° and pressed flush with surface, reducing tripping hazards.
All locking handles are keyed alike
Key for locking handles also fits SS Slam Latches, P/N's 6095, 6097, 6136, & 6138
Boat owner can have one key for all compression handles and slam latches!
A robust, corrosion-resistant compression latch/handle constructed entirely from high-quality 316 stainless steel (often referred to as marine-grade stainless for its excellent resistance to saltwater, moisture, and harsh environmental conditions). It features an ergonomic T-shaped handle that pulls up for operation and twists to engage/disengage the compression mechanism.
The compression action pulls the hatch/door tightly against its gasket or frame, reducing or eliminating vibration, noise, and rattling during travel. It creates a reliable watertight seal when properly gasketed, while the non-locking version prioritizes quick, tool-free access.

A robust, corrosion-resistant compression latch/handle constructed entirely from high-quality 316 stainless steel (often referred to as marine-grade stainless for its excellent resistance to saltwater, moisture, and harsh environmental conditions). It features an ergonomic T-shaped handle that pulls up for operation and twists to engage/disengage the compression mechanism.
The compression action pulls the hatch/door tightly against its gasket or frame, reducing or eliminating vibration, noise, and rattling during travel. It creates a reliable watertight seal when properly gasketed, while the non-locking version prioritizes quick, tool-free access.
Functions and Uses
Primary Functions:
- Provides secure compression closure - The handle pulls outward to disengage, then twists to apply inward pressure, compressing gaskets/seals for a tight fit.
- Eliminates rattle and vibration - By maintaining constant pressure, it prevents hatches or lids from loosening or making noise due to wave motion, wind, or engine vibration.
- Quick and ergonomic operation - The T-handle design allows easy grip and operation even with wet hands or gloves.
- Watertight sealing support - When paired with appropriate gaskets, it helps maintain a dry, sealed compartment.
- Flush, low-profile mounting - Sits nearly flat against the surface for a clean aesthetic and to minimize snag hazards.
Common Uses (primarily in marine/boating applications, but adaptable to other environments requiring durable, weather-resistant latches):
- Boat hatches and deck plates - Securing engine room access, storage lockers, livewells, fish boxes, or anchor lockers to prevent water ingress and noise.
- Cabin doors, cabinets, and compartments - On sailboats, powerboats, yachts, or fishing vessels for interior or exterior panels.
- Lid closures on coolers, bait boxes, or storage bins - Ensuring contents stay secure and dry.
- General marine hardware - Replacement or upgrade for older latches on boats exposed to saltwater.
- Non-marine adaptations - Occasionally used in outdoor equipment, trailers, RVs, industrial enclosures, or any application needing corrosion-resistant, compression-style fastening without a lock (e.g., where quick access is prioritized over security).
NOTE: The difference between packaged and not packaged items is that a packaged item has a card with either a plastic encasing (blister) or a polybag usually for displaying purposes.
