Whitecap S-0226BC T-Handle Latch with Keyed Lock - Black 3" Diameter

Bought this to replace one that broke, and I'm happy to have found the exact same style as the others on my boat. I'm kind of disappointed that the key that came with it also unlocks the ones that have been on the boat for 5 years now. It makes it easier to replace it as now I don't have to figure out how to change lock cylinders, but at the same time, it seems like these all unlock with the exact same key. As in all of them on every boat, not just mine. Seems like a thief hanging around a marina would have long since picked up on this trick, but maybe I'm giving criminals too much credit.My problems with the keys aside, these latches really do work awesomely and are very durable. If I hadn't stumbled a little and stepped on an open latch, it would still be working as nicely as the other 7 on the boat.EDIT:So when I originally tried the key, I had the old latch off the boat on the kitchen table, and the new key unlocked the old latch, but the old key would not unlock the new latch. They have a slight difference in the pattern. Didn't notice until I had it in the boat, and glad I checked before putting away the other keys as spares (and probably losing them forever). Everything still happens to work with the same key, and I don't worry as much for the few times the boat isn't within eyesight or locked in the garage.

Bought two of these to replace the original t-handle locks on the 2015 Bass Tracker I picked up recently. Simple to install. The only part that might take a few extra minutes is getting the locking bar set at the correct height on the threaded shaft and even that wasn't bad.

Replaced broken latch. New one was great, but hard to tighten. It was also extremely difficult to remove old one. I didn’t have set of channel locks that wide. Couldn’t get pipe wrench in small space. Used dremel to cut both sides. Wasn’t easy but worked with steady hand. Sure would be nice to have some sort of plastic tool like you get with some sink nuts. Just tightened by hand best I could.

Fit just list the OEM equipment, don’t throw away the straight bar from your old one, you myay need it for this replacement

Installed these on my boat to replace worn out or broken stock ones. Easy to install but bear in mind, if your current lock holes aren't completely round, you may have to do some filing to make these work. My holes had the two flat sides for the stock locks to fit in and not turn so I had to use a Dremel to round the holes out. No big deal, just added a little time and effort to the installation. I ordered 6 of these and the keys are all alike which I was glad since I'd rather not have to go through 6 keys to get the right one but it would also mean if someone else has the same locks, their key might likely fit yours. I did not order them keyed alike, that's just the way they came. The factory may make them in different keys or maybe they make a certain number with the same key, I don't know, just be aware of this. They work great!

No key was sent with the latch. Can’t unlock it to install.

Bought a new boat and the original t latch didn't have the key. This fit and work perfect. Love it!

The seller was very quick to ship and I have no complaints that way, but I thought I would post a warning. I purchased this for the gas tank/battery door on my 2017 Lund 1400 Fury boat. This is the same brand latch as the original, but this one does not have the 2 flats on the threaded area. These flats are in place to prevent the latch from rotating while being tightened. This latch will not fit without modification of the cutout in the door or the latch itself. It will be easy enough for me to mill flats on the latch, but not everyone has that ability.
