Wire snap hook – code: 38.131.40 – Osculati

Flush latch Osculati – code 38.131.40

The flush latch Osculati is a hardware component designed for closing doors, cabinets, and small compartments where a neat and low-profile solution is desired. Its “flush” configuration allows for maintaining a clean and functional surface, reducing bulk and snag points during daily use on board or in technical environments.

Made of chromed brass, integrates a mechanism that lowers by spring, making it practical for frequent openings and for applications where a simple and immediate control is useful. It is suitable for various uses in nautical and plant engineering fields, especially when a discreet but robust accessory is desired, consistent with metal finishes and onboard components.

Features and construction details

This latch is designed to offer a functional closure with an essential aesthetic. The choice of materials and the chrome finish make it suitable for contexts where hardware is exposed to continuous use and where uniformity with other metal accessories is sought.

Material and finish

• Material: cable passage below deck.
• Appearance: chrome finish suitable for technical installations and nautical contexts.

“Flush” spring mechanism”

The control lowers by spring: when not in use, it remains in the lowered position, helping to keep the door front more streamlined. This solution is particularly useful on doors and hatches in narrow passages or operational areas, where protrusions and handles can be inconvenient.

Available sizes

For proper integration into the furniture or hatch, the following sizes are available:

• Dimensions: 57×40 mm.
• Plate: 18×40 mm.

Note: before purchase, check the available space and compatibility with the hole/mounting area of your door, to achieve a clean and aligned result.

Small cabinets and internal doors

• Locking of small cabinets and fronts of technical furnishings.
• Small compartment doors where a quick and unobtrusive control is needed.

Various uses in onboard hardware

• Generic applications on paneling and doors in operational areas.
• Solutions where hardware is desired on thread to reduce bulk.

Practical advantages

Flush design: less bulk, more order

The recessed configuration helps keep the door cleaner and reduces the likelihood of accidental bumps or snags, especially in narrow passages or areas where equipment and onboard gear are used.

Simple control with spring return

The mechanism that lowers by spring promotes immediate use: once activated, the control returns to the recessed position, helping to preserve the front's linearity and maintain a neat grip.

Chrome-plated brass for technical contexts

The’chromed brass is a common choice in hardware for its aesthetic appeal and for matching other metal components. It is suitable when a uniform finish and a professional look on doors and furnishings are desired.

Usage and installation notes

To achieve correct installation and smooth operation, it is advisable to plan the installation based on the available measurements and the door's position. When replacing an existing component, check that the bulk and the plate are compatible with the existing holes or the fixing area.

Operational advice

• Measure check: check the bulk (57×40 mm) and the plate (18×40 mm) against the available space.
• Alignment: position the latch so that the operation is comfortable and the front remains well finished.
• Usage context: ideal for cabinets and doors where a flush solution improves space usability.
