Flush hatch latches

[Mike Answeeney]

What are you all using for flush mount latches on your deck hatches?

I'm thinking about these, anyone have experience with these? Do they fade or corrode?

Try these flush latches instead:

I try to stay away from plastic whenever possible.

There are also some nicer "dog" style latches around...

I did some searching and found on Ebay some SS latches (Latch-Tite Flush Mount Hatch Latch - NEW - #002089).  I ordered one just to see what they are like and I think I'm going to go with these.  The posting has 62 available and they are only $16 each plus shipping.





Here's the Ebay link:
