Recommendation

For main cabin entries or storage areas where security is a priority, the 221615-1 Locking model is the standard choice. If you are rigging an interior head or a door that doesn't require a key, the 221610-1 Passage model offers the same high-end look without the locking mechanism.

Installation Notes

• Designed for surface mounting on marine cabin doors and compartment panels.

• Verify door thickness and cutout dimensions before installation.

• Use marine-grade stainless steel fasteners for optimal corrosion resistance.

• Apply marine sealant around mounting holes when installing in exposed areas to prevent water intrusion.

• Ensure proper alignment of latch mechanism with striker plate for smooth operation.

• Periodically rinse with fresh water and apply light marine lubricant to maintain smooth locking performance.

Installation Tip: To ensure smooth operation and prevent binding, use a template to mark your drill holes and ensure the handle and strike plate are perfectly aligned. Lubricating the internal locking cylinder with a marine-grade dry Tef-Gel will prevent salt buildup inside the keyway.
