Today we're going to be taking a look at the Paneloc Slam Latch. This slam latch is ideal for trailer and shed doors. It's got the spring-loaded pin with the angled tip that provides easy, hands-free latching action. The angled tip allows the pin to automatically retract when you slam the door shut, and the spring forces the pin into a keeper. The square shape of the spring helps ensure trouble-free operation, and it's got a rubber handle that gives you a comfortable grip on the latch. The handle is secured with adhesive .. or that rubber grip, is secured with adhesive, making sure it won't accidentally slide off when you're using it.
The unit itself is made from a zinc-plated steel construction. It's very strong and durable and provides corrosion resistance. Looking at some measurements, real quick. Measuring the body, going this direction, that's gonna measure an inch and a half. Side to side this direction, it's gonna measure an inch and a quarter. Overall depth, bottom to top, just the body, is five-eighths of an inch deep.
The mount holes on the unit go in this direction, side to side, separated on center by seven-eighths of an inch. This direction, on center, separated by three-quarters of an inch. When it comes to the dimensions of the pin, that's a square design, measures three-eighths of an inch by three-eighths of an inch. Overall length, from back of the handle to the tip of the pin, measures about two and seven-eighths of an inch long. And the extension, that's how far it extends from the body, is nine-sixteenths of an inch. That's gonna do it for today's look at the Paneloc Slam Latch.

Slam latch is ideal for doors on trailers or sheds that you need to get into and out of quickly. Spring-loaded pin with angled tip automatically retracts and springs into a keeper when you slam the door shut. Zinc-plated steel resists corrosion.The latches work great. I used them on the tool box drawers in my work truck.
The latch was exactly what I needed for my project, a child’s safety gate. It latches easily when closing and requires a pull to open, easy for an adult while keeping the young ones safely contained.
Just what I was looking for. etrailer is a great resource for your trailering needs. The shipping time didn't take very long either and they ship to Hawaii which is great.
Thanks for the latches,they could be a little heavier bigger
Just what I needed for my project. Sturdy item. Item is as described.
