Peli Case Latch, Clip, Lock, Catch, Closure 24mm, Desert Tan

Peli 1403-942-190SP case latch 24 mm – Desert Tan replacement latch

A protective case is trusted because it closes securely, every single time. When a latch is cracked, loose, or missing, the whole case becomes less predictable. That can lead to poor lid alignment, uneven closure tension, and transport risk. This replacement latch restores the original closing function on compatible Peli cases. It brings back a clean, repeatable “snap” and stable lid seating.

This is the 24 mm latch in a Desert Tan finish. Desert Tan is a practical color for outdoor and field workflows. It blends well with tan and earth-tone equipment setups. It is also a popular choice for matching tactical and expedition kits. If you run a case fleet, consistent colors help keep everything organized.

Compatibility is the most important check

Always match the part number and your case model before ordering. This latch is the 24 mm version with part number 1403-942-190SP. It is used on several classic Peli case models. Some models changed latch generations over time. If your case is from a newer production run, compare latch shape and width first. A quick check prevents downtime and unnecessary returns.

Compatible Peli cases

• Peli 1170
• Peli 1200
• Peli 1300
• Peli 1400 (typically cases manufactured until approx. 2008)
• Peli 1600 (typically cases manufactured until approx. 2007)

For Peli 1400 and Peli 1600, the production year can matter. Some later cases may use a different latch generation. If you are unsure, compare your original latch profile before purchase. This reduces mistakes and keeps maintenance simple.

Why replacing a latch improves the whole case

Latches are high-cycle parts. They take force during every open and close. They also take stress from drops, stacking, and vibration. Over time, materials fatigue and stiffness drops. That can reduce closure tension and create uneven lid pressure. A fresh latch restores predictable closure and safer handling. It also lowers the chance of accidental opening in transit.

Balanced latch tension helps the lid sit evenly around the seal. That improves the overall “tight” feel of the case. It also reduces micro-movement during long transport. For delicate equipment, less movement means less wear. For professional workflows, it means fewer surprises.

Desert Tan for field-ready consistency

Desert Tan is often chosen for outdoor and tactical kits. It matches earth-tone equipment and blends into field environments. It also helps keep a consistent visual standard across cases. For teams, that improves recognition and reduces mix-ups. For individuals, it keeps the case looking intentional and clean.

If you carry spares, Desert Tan is easy to identify in a kit. It is also less visually “bright” than safety colors. That can matter when you want a discreet, uniform appearance. At the same time, it still differs from black enough to be noticed.

Replacement guidance

Before you replace

Confirm the part number and measure the latch width. Check your case model against the compatibility list above. Inspect the other latches for stress marks or looseness. If multiple latches show wear, replace them as a set. Balanced tension keeps the lid aligned.

During replacement

Work on a clean surface and keep small parts organized. Many cases reuse existing pins or fasteners. Hardware varies by case generation and configuration. That is why this listing focuses on the latch itself. Use hardware that matches your current setup.

After replacement

Close the lid and test the latch motion. The latch should engage smoothly and hold securely. Check lid alignment around the perimeter. Compare closing feel across all latches. If one latch feels much tighter, inspect for misalignment.

Common signs you need a new latch

• The latch does not “snap” cleanly into place.
• The latch feels loose after closing.
• You see cracks near the hinge or hook.
• The lid needs extra force to align.
• The case opened unexpectedly during handling.
