Sugatsune bar latch gives you a compact latch solution that uses a knurled thumb screw on the female strike so you can tighten the screw to keep the latch closed during use. This design uses a thumb screw made of brass, while the rest of the latch is made of 304 stainless steel, so the latch combines the handling feel of brass with the material benefits of stainless at the main load points. The 2-3/16 inch, or 55mm, length keeps the bar latch small enough for tight layouts where a larger latch body would interfere with adjacent hardware. The polished stainless steel surface presents a finished look in visible locations. The latch is classified under Locks and Latches and Bolts, Hasps and Latches, so it suits projects that need a positive mechanical catch in a straightforward bar-style format.
This bar latch relies on tightening the knurled thumb screw on the female strike to keep the latch closed, so closure is created by hand rotation rather than a spring catch. With the thumb screw made of brass and the rest of the latch made of 304 stainless steel, the closure interface gives a brass turning surface while the latch body and bar use stainless steel for the primary structural components. The 2-3/16 inch, or 55mm, length helps the latch span a short distance between mating surfaces, which can simplify layout when setting the relationship between the latch bar and the strike on smaller panels.
The Sugatsune bar latch with 2-3/16 inch, or 55mm, length works where a short bar is needed to bridge from a mounting point to a female strike without overhanging adjacent hardware. Its placement within Locks and Latches and Bolts, Hasps and Latches shows it is meant for applications that rely on a mechanical catch rather than a magnetic or concealed system. The latch with knurled thumb screw on the female strike suits situations where the closing point needs to be visually confirmed, because the screw remains visible at the strike location. The polished stainless steel description supports use on projects where hardware appearance matters alongside function, such as finished cabinetry or exposed panels.
The instruction to tighten screw to keep latch closed defines how the BL-55 bar latch is set during installation and daily use, because the knurled thumb screw adjusts the holding force at the strike. With the thumb screw made of brass, frequent turning is focused on a brass component while the rest of the latch is made of 304 stainless steel, so the bar and strike can remain in stainless where the mechanical loading occurs. The 2-3/16 inch, or 55mm, overall length affects how closely the mounting point can sit to the strike, which helps on narrow frames, rails, or stiles. The polished stainless steel finish helps the latch maintain a uniform look with other polished stainless hardware in the same assembly.
The Sugatsune BL-55 bar latch has a 2-3/16 inch, or 55mm, length, which suits shorter spans between a mounting point and the female strike on compact doors or panels.
The latch with knurled thumb screw on the female strike uses hand tightening of the screw to keep the latch closed, so closing force is set by how far the screw is turned.
The BL-55 latch description states the thumb screw is made of brass, the rest of the latch is made of 304 stainless steel, so the bar and body components use stainless material.
The Sugatsune bar latch uses a thumb screw made of brass, which provides a brass turning surface at the strike while the other latch parts are 304 stainless steel.
The BL-55 is classified under Locks and Latches and Bolts, Hasps and Latches, aligning it with applications that need a mechanical bar-style catch with a visible closing point.
The polished stainless steel description indicates exposed latch surfaces present a polished look, which is suitable when the latch will be seen on finished cabinetry or panels.
The Sugatsune bar latch BL-55 combines a 2-3/16 inch, or 55mm, length with a knurled thumb screw on the female strike, so installations gain a compact bar latch that closes by tightening a hand-turned screw. With the thumb screw made of brass and the rest of the latch made of 304 stainless steel, the latch separates the turning surface from the stainless structural components. The polished stainless steel description supports use where visible hardware needs a finished appearance. For projects requiring a mechanical bar-style catch within the Locks and Latches and Bolts, Hasps and Latches classes, this BL-55 layout offers a straightforward, thumb-screw-driven closure.
