Description
Overview:
The Anti Luce Fastener M8 x 20 is a zinc‐plated steel latch used to secure panels, gates, hatches, and trailer doors on construction and garden machinery, plant, and general vehicles. Its M8 (8 mm) diameter threaded shank with 20 mm thread length offers a solid fixing point through suitable brackets or bodywork. The slotted, rotating latch head provides a firm hold that resists vibration, helping to reduce rattle on the move. Supplied with an M8 nut and two washers, it is ready for a straightforward install. The bright zinc plating provides strong corrosion resistance for outdoor use, making it a reliable choice for trailers, site equipment, tool lockers, service doors, and enclosures where frequent opening and closing is expected.
