Need help locating a latch
Submitted by Tim on Tue, 2014-01-07 18:05
I am in need of some help to locate a deck hatch locking lever set like the one in the picture below.
There are 2 of these that secure the access hatch thru from the cabin to the anchor but I cant locate them anywhere.
I did source some locally a few years ago from a place that was recommended on here but buggered if I can remember where it was.
I think it was a small factory unit up malaga way from memory but who know it could have been oconnor.
If anyone knows of a place that carrys all sorts of window hardware your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

getting the bottom line final answer from a bunch of blokes that use false names and put smiley faces at the end of paragraphs is not the best place in the world to get the information you seek.

Whitco??
Tim I think it maybe an older version of a Whitco window catch. Can't find anything similar on their current website but if you get stuck perhaps give them a call.

heatley sales should stock
heatley sales should stock them , if no joy capral aluminum , alspec aluminum will have them not sure if they deal with the public ? any commercial window manufacturer will either have or get them in for you bunnings may even stock them ?
if you say your chasing a casement window catch the aluminum and hardware mobs will know what your talking about

Thanks
After trying pretty much every place in Perth I ended up at this little Pine Timber shop in Morley across from Bluewater that had probably the last 2 going.
It turns out these are an old Whitco (nice call Alan)series 22 latch that hasn't been made for a while. I managed to get 2 gold handles with mismatched plates that will get me out of trouble now but will have to look into something else for the future.
The new model (series 25) is similar but larger so I will have to look into if this will work next time or I try something completely different.
Thanks to everyone for your help. All those shops mentioned helped me get to the final stop.
