The SARHW55 butterfly latch delivers secure, professional closure for PA speaker cabinets, flight cases, and DJ equipment builds. Built from stainless steel with a nickel finish, this surface-mount latch system handles the rigors of regular transport and setup.

This 2-piece latch and keeper assembly creates a tight, secure seal that won't pop open during transport or performance. The butterfly design allows for quick one-handed operation while maintaining a strong hold under vibration and movement.

The 2.5" x 2.5" mounting footprint fits standard case layouts, with 0.2" diameter mounting holes that accommodate common hardware sizes. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion from outdoor gigs and humid venues, while the sleek nickel finish maintains a professional appearance on visible equipment.

Perfect for building custom speaker cabinets, repairing damaged flight cases, or upgrading worn latches on existing gear. Mobile DJs appreciate the quick-release operation during setup and breakdown, while sound companies rely on the secure hold during equipment transport between venues.

The surface-mount design requires appropriate screws or bolts (not included) to match your specific cabinet material and thickness. Installation requires basic tools and takes just minutes per latch.

Seismic Audio backs this hardware with reliable quality at a practical price point. Ships fast to keep your builds and repairs on schedule.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What mounting hardware do I need for installation?

You'll need screws or bolts that match your cabinet material and thickness. The 0.2" diameter mounting holes accommodate standard #10 screws or 5mm bolts. For speaker cabinets, use wood screws; for metal cases, use machine screws with nuts or self-tapping screws.

Will this latch work on my existing flight case?

Yes, as long as you have 2.5" x 2.5" of flat surface area for mounting both the latch and keeper components. The surface-mount design adapts to most case materials including wood, plastic, and metal. Measure your current latch spacing before ordering.

How secure is this latch for transport?

The butterfly design creates strong clamping pressure that holds securely during vehicle transport and handling. The stainless steel construction won't bend or break under normal use, making it reliable for mobile DJs and touring musicians who move gear frequently.

Can I use this latch outdoors?

Absolutely. The stainless steel construction and nickel finish resist corrosion from moisture and weather exposure. This makes it suitable for outdoor events, beach gigs, and equipment stored in garages or trailers where humidity fluctuates.

How does this compare to plastic latches?

Stainless steel provides significantly better durability than plastic alternatives. While plastic latches can crack from impact or UV exposure, this metal construction maintains its strength and appearance over years of use. The investment pays off in reduced replacement costs.
