washboard hatchlocker! Where to get?

[wiersma67]

Hello there!

I want to replace the perspex washboard on my boat with teak washboard. However, I cannot find anywhere a stainless steel hatchlocker. I'm looking for the barrel type which rotates a catch 90 degrees.

Can anyone help?

Cheers,
JW

I've got one of those - in a perspex washboard that got kicked in by a burglar. I've replaced it with a loop on the coachroof to take a padlock that stops people sliding the hatch back which I think is a better system.

I could post it unless you are near Christchurch.

Try Moodys at Bursledon they fitted that type for many years and had spares

Have a look at this

http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp;jsessionid=3RASFLIJGEKGJCJO2C3CIIQ?id=19359&ts=82529

It's screwfix, I fitted one to my wash boards a couple of years ago and it's still OK.
It's chrome plated, not stainless, but stands up to the weather if you keep it lubricated. And it's only £4, so it won't break the bank if you have to replace it in a few years time.

Maplin Electronics - CJ14Q - £1.99

Plastimo – 13861 - £18.72

Screwfix – 19359 - £3.79 (1) or £11.99 (4)

For 1.99 the maplin ones are fine - you can fit 2 even, and at that price change then when ever needed,

Some sources suggest fitting the New York type rimlock. It would certainly be possible to lock either from the outside or the inside with one of these, which might be convenient in some circumstances - perhaps not too necessary in England though.
