Hatch latches
Started a little side project... Made cad models of the latches. Getting the geometry right so the teeth mesh correctly was a bit of a pain. Planning to fabricate a couple sets in stainless.

Re: Hatch latches
Nice. Always good to have options.

Re: Hatch latches
Looks good. Great idea for the durability and aesthetics!
Any plan to make more sets? I would be interested in a set if you do. |

Anyone have a clean set of latches and can check something for me? Need to know if the area pointed at below should be curved like shown. Both of the ones I have look pretty beat up in that area, can't tell if that was the original shape or it has worn down. |

Re: Hatch latches
Here's a pic from a NOS example I have. That section appears flat and parallels the opposite side. I have seven used examples here that are loose - the concavity depicted in above pic is from wear and not present when first installed. Hope it helps. Good luck with the project.

Re: Hatch latches
Awesome... Had a feeling that radius shouldn't be there. Thanks.
