AISI 316 stainless steel built-in locks

```html

Choosing the right lock for your boat is crucial for security and functionality. We offer a wide range of AISI 316 stainless steel locks, the ideal material for resisting the harsh marine environment. We offer models for every need: from Yale-style exterior locks for cabins and lockers, to specific locks for sliding doors, and models with internal locking and emergency release for heads (bathrooms).

Our locks are available in various sizes and finishes to perfectly match the style of your boat. You'll find locks with a case size from 44 to 140 mm, variable thicknesses, and different handle options. All products are made with high-quality materials and guarantee long-lasting performance, even under demanding conditions.

Locks for Sliding Doors: Which One to Choose?

Sliding door locks require specific mechanisms to ensure secure and smooth closure. Available models include locks with a thumb turn, hook, or magnet, depending on the type of door and security requirements. Always verify that the lock is compatible with the thickness of your sliding door and that the locking mechanism is robust and reliable.

AISI 316 Stainless Steel: Why is it Important?

AISI 316 stainless steel is a corrosion-resistant alloy, ideal for use in the marine environment. Locks made with this material will not rust and will maintain their functionality over time, even when exposed to salt spray and humidity. Beware of imitations and only choose certified AISI 316 stainless steel products.
