Do you have an alternative to 51L3-3-2BC used together with V951L61-4BP?

Question We are looking for some replacement latches for 51L3-3-2BC.

However we are not able to find  51L3-3-2BC  anywhere.

Are you able to offer 51L3-3-2BC or an alternative for it?

Answer

Thank you for asking your question.

The part that you request 51L3-3-2BC is not available anymore and obsolete.

51L3-3-2BC is a stainless steel regular version reverse base latch with holes 136/128 3,45mm-3,25mm

51L3-3-2BC is equipped with a lift spring.

The most appropriate replacement for 51L3-3-2BC  would be then V951L03-1-1BP in combination with the V951L61-4BP.

Take care: the holes  of V951L03-1-1BP are 3,6mm !! So you’ll have use bigger rivets to mount them.

When riveting the latch V951L03-1-1BP, just simply add the lift spring V951L61 underneath the latch to enable the lift feature.

It’s that straightforward!

The new lift spring V951L61-4BP is an additional feature, but the latch  can still be operated with or without the spring.

The purpose of the lift spring V951L61-4BP is to keep the latch in an open position, should the application require this feature.

Please find enclosed the drawings of  V951L03-1-1BP to compare and the drawing of the lift spring  V951L61-4BP.
