The SARHW25 butterfly latch is built for audio professionals who need reliable hardware to secure flight cases, DJ coffins, and custom equipment enclosures. This surface-mount latch system ensures your valuable gear stays protected during transport and storage.

This two-piece assembly features a black powder-coated finish that resists wear and provides a professional appearance on any case build. The butterfly-style mechanism creates a tight, secure closure that won't accidentally open during handling or transport.

The compact 1.75" x 1.95" footprint fits standard case construction while the 0.2" diameter mounting holes accommodate common hardware screws. The surface-mount design eliminates the need for routing or complex installation, making it ideal for both new builds and retrofit projects. The included keeper ensures proper alignment and maximum holding strength.

Perfect for securing PA speaker cases, DJ controller cases, rack cases, and custom equipment enclosures. Whether you're building new flight cases for a touring band or replacing worn latches on existing gear, this hardware provides the durability mobile performers demand. The low-profile design won't interfere with case stacking or transport.

Installation requires only basic hand tools and standard mounting screws (not included). The surface-mount configuration works on plywood, composite, and metal case surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size screws do I need to mount this latch?

The mounting holes are 0.2" (approximately #10) diameter, so you'll need #10 screws of appropriate length for your case material. For 1/2" plywood cases, use #10 x 3/4" screws. For thicker materials, adjust screw length accordingly to ensure proper thread engagement without over-penetration.

Will this latch work on both new case builds and replacing old hardware?

Yes, the SARHW25 works for both applications. The 1.75" x 1.95" footprint fits standard case construction spacing, and the surface-mount design eliminates routing requirements. For replacements, simply remove the old hardware and mount this latch using the existing holes or drill new ones if needed.

How much holding force does this butterfly latch provide?

This butterfly latch creates a tight, secure closure suitable for protecting valuable audio equipment during transport. The two-piece design with keeper ensures proper alignment and maximum holding strength. While not rated for extreme loads, it provides sufficient security for standard flight cases and equipment enclosures used in mobile audio applications.

Can I use this latch on metal cases or just wood?

The surface-mount design works on plywood, composite materials, and metal case surfaces. For metal installation, use appropriate metal screws and consider pre-drilling to prevent material damage. The black powder coating matches most professional case finishes regardless of substrate material.

What's the difference between this and a recessed butterfly latch?

Surface-mount latches like the SARHW25 install on top of the case surface without requiring routing or cutting, making installation faster and stronger on thin materials. Recessed latches sit flush but require precise cutting and routing. Surface-mount latches are preferred for most mobile audio applications due to their strength and ease of installation.
