Whitecap S-0226BC T-Handle Latch with Keyed Lock - Black 3" Diameter

Bought this to replace one that broke, and I'm happy to have found the exact same style as the others on my boat. I'm kind of disappointed that the key that came with it also unlocks the ones that have been on the boat for 5 years now. It makes it easier to replace it as now I don't have to figure out how to change lock cylinders, but at the same time, it seems like these all unlock with the exact same key. As in all of them on every boat, not just mine. Seems like a thief hanging around a marina would have long since picked up on this trick, but maybe I'm giving criminals too much credit.My problems with the keys aside, these latches really do work awesomely and are very durable. If I hadn't stumbled a little and stepped on an open latch, it would still be working as nicely as the other 7 on the boat.EDIT:So when I originally tried the key, I had the old latch off the boat on the kitchen table, and the new key unlocked the old latch, but the old key would not unlock the new latch. They have a slight difference in the pattern. Didn't notice until I had it in the boat, and glad I checked before putting away the other keys as spares (and probably losing them forever). Everything still happens to work with the same key, and I don't worry as much for the few times the boat isn't within eyesight or locked in the garage.

Easy to install

Replaced broken latch. New one was great, but hard to tighten. It was also extremely difficult to remove old one. I didn’t have set of channel locks that wide. Couldn’t get pipe wrench in small space. Used dremel to cut both sides. Wasn’t easy but worked with steady hand. Sure would be nice to have some sort of plastic tool like you get with some sink nuts. Just tightened by hand best I could.

Exactly like original equipment on Lund boats; perfect fit easy to install. Biggest drawback is it comes with only one key which impresses me as CHEAP. Replacement or second key only available through authorized dealers who do not keep in stock so is special order and ridiculously expensive for something that would cost pennies to include in first place

It is a perfect match, to all my other (Whitecap) latches...

I sold the boat before the product shipped. It looks good

The seller was very quick to ship and I have no complaints that way, but I thought I would post a warning. I purchased this for the gas tank/battery door on my 2017 Lund 1400 Fury boat. This is the same brand latch as the original, but this one does not have the 2 flats on the threaded area. These flats are in place to prevent the latch from rotating while being tightened. This latch will not fit without modification of the cutout in the door or the latch itself. It will be easy enough for me to mill flats on the latch, but not everyone has that ability.

Easy to install although the locking tongue supplied was too short to engage the compartment lip. I had the old tongues so all is well.
