The SARHW31 heavy duty butterfly latch provides secure closure for flight cases, road cases, and rack enclosures used by touring musicians, mobile DJs, and sound engineers. This surface-mount hardware replaces worn or damaged latches on existing cases or works for new case builds.

The two-piece latch and keeper assembly creates a tight, secure closure that withstands the rigors of transport and regular use. The low-profile design keeps latches from catching on other gear during loading and setup.

Built from stainless steel with a sleek nickel finish, this large butterfly latch measures 3.25" x 2.75" with 0.2-inch diameter mounting holes. The surface-mount design installs directly onto case surfaces without requiring recessed mounting, making repairs and installations straightforward.

Perfect for securing mixer cases, speaker cabinets, microphone cases, and instrument flight cases. The robust construction handles frequent opening and closing while maintaining consistent tension over time.

Installation requires standard mounting screws (not included) through the pre-drilled holes. The keeper portion mounts opposite the latch to create the closure mechanism. Standard case-building hardware works with the 0.2-inch mounting holes.

Seismic Audio stocks replacement hardware and case components to keep your gear road-ready. Professional-grade construction at a practical price point, with reliable shipping to get your cases back in service.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What size cases work with this butterfly latch?

This large butterfly latch works on any case where you have 3.25" x 2.75" of flat surface space for mounting. The 0.2-inch mounting holes accommodate standard case hardware screws, making it suitable for flight cases, road cases, and custom rack enclosures of any size.

What mounting hardware do I need to install this latch?

You'll need screws appropriate for your case material - typically #8 or #10 wood screws for wooden cases, or machine screws with nuts for metal cases. The 0.2-inch diameter holes accommodate standard case-building hardware available at most hardware stores.

How does this compare to smaller butterfly latches?

This large latch provides more holding power and durability than smaller versions, making it ideal for heavier cases or high-use applications. The 3.25" x 2.75" footprint distributes stress across a larger area, reducing wear on case surfaces compared to compact latches.

Can this replace latches on existing flight cases?

Yes, this surface-mount design works as a direct replacement for most broken butterfly latches. As long as your case has sufficient flat surface area for the mounting footprint, you can install this latch without modifications to the case structure.

Will this work on both wooden and metal cases?

The surface-mount design works on any material with adequate thickness - wood, metal, plastic, or composite case materials. Just ensure your mounting screws are appropriate for the case material and that the case wall is thick enough to support the mounting hardware securely.
