Southco 93-303
The latch has a keyed locking function; confirm the key package with the specific listing before purchase.
Southco 93-303 vs 93-304: Keyed & Non-Locking Access Latches
Southco's 93-303 and 93-304 are compact black push-to-close access-door latches, but they operate differently. Model 93-303 has a key-locking function, while 93-304 uses a non-locking pull-tab release. Identify the original latch and its mounting details before replacing a boat or RV compartment closure.
Why the locking function matters
93-303: A key-locking latch that holds the access panel after it is pushed closed. Match the keyed mechanism if the original compartment requires locking protection. Confirm key supply for the specific product before ordering.
93-304: A non-locking version opened using a pull tab. It suits access panels that need convenient retention without a keyed locking function. A pull-tab latch should not be substituted when the original installation requires a lock.
Before ordering: Measure the existing cutout, panel thickness, latch-to-keeper relationship, fixing points and clearance behind the door. Similar appearance does not prove matching installation dimensions. Use Southco's exact part drawing to confirm fit.

Replacement and safety checks
Inspect the access panel, keeper, surrounding structure and original mounting hardware before fitting a replacement. Follow the precise Southco mounting drawing and test that the door latches positively without binding. Where a compartment forms part of a safety-critical or weatherproof assembly, verify that the entire replacement arrangement preserves its required function.
For another access-door latch family, see our Southco M1 flush-pull latch guide. Flexible draw closures are compared separately in the Southco C7 and F7 reference.
Common questions
Do both Southco latches lock with a key?
No. The 93-303 is the key-locking model; 93-304 is a non-locking pull-tab version.
Are replacement keys included with 93-303?
Key inclusion is not confirmed for the exact store package. Check the product listing details or contact the store to confirm before ordering.
Can one replace the other without drilling?
Do not assume identical mounting dimensions. Verify Southco's exact cutout, panel-thickness and keeper specifications before substituting either part.
