Perko surface-mount cam latch One Size — non-locking, adjustable 3/4"–2-3/8" cam, gasket included

Perko 1092DP1BLK is a surface-mount, non-locking cam latch with an adjustable 3/4" to 2-3/8" cam designed for smooth or carpeted surfaces.

This surface-mount latch combines corrosion-resistant metals and durable fiber-reinforced polymer for reliable everyday use on cabinets, hatches, and enclosures. The assembly is sized to fit a standard 2-1/2" diameter mounting hole and includes a gasket for smooth surfaces, so installation is straightforward and weather-tolerant. With a chrome-plated zinc alloy cam, stainless steel stem, and a polymer "T" handle available in black or white, the unit balances strength and clean styling for marine, mobile, and utility applications.

How does the adjustable cam benefit different panel thicknesses?

The cam on this model adjusts between 3/4" and 2-3/8", letting you tailor engagement depth to varying door or lid thicknesses without replacing parts. That range covers thin access doors up to moderately thick panels, simplifying inventory and installation. Adjustment is achieved with straightforward hardware access once the faceplate is in place.

• Cam adjustment range: 3/4"–2-3/8" for flexible engagement
• Works with panel thicknesses from 1/8" to 3/4"
• Chrome-plated zinc alloy cam resists corrosion

What surfaces and mounting details should I know before installing?

Perko designed this latch for both smooth and carpeted surfaces; a gasket is included to seal and cushion the faceplate on smooth substrates. It installs into a 2-1/2" diameter hole and the face plate has a 3" diameter to cover the cutout neatly. The non-locking design is ideal where secure closure is required without keying or complex hardware.

• Mounting hole required: 2-1/2" diameter
• Face plate diameter: 3" for clean coverage
• Gasket included for smooth-surface sealing and vibration dampening

What materials and finishes are used, and why do they matter?

The latch blends chrome-plated zinc alloy for the cam, a stainless steel stem, and a fiber-reinforced polymer body and "T" handle. These choices reduce corrosion risk and keep the unit lightweight while preserving mechanical strength. The polymer handle options (black or white) provide visual contrast and resist UV fading compared with painted metal handles.

• Body: black fiber-reinforced polymer — durable, lightweight
• Cam: chrome-plated zinc alloy for wear resistance
• Stem: stainless steel for corrosion protection

How easy is maintenance and replacement if something wears out?

This latch is service-friendly: its surface-mount design allows removal without accessing the inside of a cabinet or enclosure in many installations. The stainless stem and plated cam help extend service life, while the polymer handle can be swapped quickly if damaged. Because it’s non-locking and modular, replacement parts and comparable units are widely available.

• Surface-mount design simplifies removal and replacement
• Durable metals minimize routine maintenance
• Common dimensions make finding replacements straightforward

Who is this for: The Perko 1092DP1BLK is aimed at boaters, RV owners, installers, and fabricators who need a dependable, non-locking latch that installs easily into common cutouts and adapts to a range of panel thicknesses. It’s a practical choice for utility compartments, access panels, and lightweight cabinet doors where a secure, corrosion-resistant closure is required without keyed security. If you need a straightforward, adjustable cam latch that balances durability and low maintenance, this model is a solid fit.
