Product Overview
The 5251-48 is a mini dovetail latch featuring the distinctive wedge-shaped design that creates a self-tightening effect during closure. As the latch engages, the inclined surfaces pull the lid tighter against the case body just like a dovetail joint in woodworking ensuring a firm, rattle-free seal that holds securely even under vibration.
The over-center toggle mechanism provides reliable vibration-proof locking, preventing accidental opening during transport and handling. The compact mini size makes it ideal for small enclosures and lightweight applications where a full-sized latch would be oversized.
Constructed from cost-effective cold-rolled carbon steel with a bright chrome plated finish, it offers a polished appearance with basic corrosion protection for indoor or light-duty environments.

Mini dovetail design with self-tightening closure
Vibration-proof over-center locking mechanism
10kg working load capacity

Cost-effective carbon steel construction
Compact size for space-constrained applications
