PA017 Platt Cases Lock — Robust, Secure Locking for Wooden and Presentation Cases

The PA017 Platt Cases Lock is a heavy‑duty, classic platt‑style locking mechanism designed for wooden trunks, instrument cases, flight and transport cases, presentation boxes, and high‑end packaging. Engineered for strength, repeatable performance, and clean aesthetics, PA017 combines reliable security with a refined look—ideal for OEMs, packaging brands, instrument makers, and manufacturers of luxury and industrial cases.

Key Features & Benefits

• Durable platt/hasp‑style lock body with integrated latch for positive engagement and secure closure
• Reinforced strike plate and locking bar for high load capacity and resistance to prying
• Smooth lock action with solid tactile feedback and long cycle life under frequent use
• Optional keyed cylinder or built‑in cam lock variants for keyed, keyed‑alike, or keyed‑different configurations
• Surface‑mount design compatible with wooden, plywood, MDF and composite panels; retrofit friendly for existing cases
• Variety of finishes (polished brass, antique brass, nickel/chrome, satin nickel, black oxide, zinc plating, PVD) to match product styling and corrosion resistance needs
• OEM customization available: dimensions, hole patterns, stamped logos, keyed options, and packaging

Typical Applications

• Flight and road cases for audio, lighting, and musical instruments
• Instrument and tool cases requiring rugged transport protection
• High‑end presentation boxes, awards cases and corporate gift boxes
• Cigar boxes, wine and spirits presentation cases where a strong, visible closure is desired
• Vintage‑style trunks, shipping crates, and collectible storage chests
• Retail fixtures and point‑of‑sale display cases that require repeatable secure latching

Materials & Manufacturing Process

• Material options: stamped or die‑formed steel for high strength; solid brass components for premium tactile feel and corrosion resistance; zinc alloy die‑cast for complex shapes and cost efficiency
• Surface treatments: electroplating (nickel, chrome, brass), chemical antiquing for vintage finishes, black oxide for subdued industrial look, PVD coatings for high durability, and clear lacquer for tarnish protection
• Manufacturing flow: stamping/die‑casting → CNC trimming and forming → deburring → polishing/brushing → surface finishing/plating → assembly and testing
• Quality assurance: dimensional checks, functional cycle testing (open/close cycles), load/prying resistance checks, and corrosion testing for options used in humid environments

Technical Considerations & Installation

• Verify lid and body panel thicknesses, and provide box sample or detailed drawings for precise catch alignment and screw length recommendations
• Use recommended screw types and lengths to prevent interior protrusion or wood splitting; pre‑drilling pilot holes improves alignment and reduces installation time
• For high‑vibration or heavy‑use cases, consider additional retention hardware (corner brackets, reinforcing plates) and lock back‑up options (secondary catches or padlockable hasps)
• Specify keyed‑alike vs keyed‑different and master‑keying needs at order time to ensure correct cylinder configuration
• Flange and strike plate dimensions can be tailored to recessed or surface‑mount installations as required

Selection & Buying Guide

• Choose material based on use case: steel for maximum strength and transport cases; brass for premium finish and corrosion resistance; zinc alloy for economical decorative applications
• Select finish for both aesthetics and environment: bright chrome/nickel for modern presentation; antique brass for vintage styling; black oxide or satin finishes for understated professional equipment
• Decide locking requirements: non‑locking decorative platt, keyed cylinder for moderate security, or padlockable provisions for external locking with higher security needs
• Order pre‑production samples to verify fit, finish and mechanical feel on your actual case materials before mass production
• Coordinate PA017 with matching hardware (hinges, handles, corner guards) to present a cohesive look and ensure mechanical compatibility

Packaging & Supply Options

• Supplied individually, in matching sets or bulk cartons for OEM production runs
• Custom packaging, private labeling, and kitting (screws, strike plates, installation instructions) available
• Flexible MOQs to support small designers, mid‑sized brands and large manufacturers; export‑ready packing and documentation provided
