Peli Air Case Latch, Clip, Lock, Catch, Closure 36mm, Yellow (Old)

Peli AIR Case Latch 36mm, Yellow – Legacy Generation Replacement Part

This is a genuine Peli spare part: the yellow 36mm double-step latch originally fitted to older-generation Peli AIR cases. If a corner of your case snapped shut a little too hard once too often, or years of airport belts and job-site knocks have finally worn the catch loose, this is the exact component that needs replacing – not a universal look-alike, but the real part made by Peli to the original tolerances.

Why the exact part matters

A case is only as watertight and shock-resistant as its weakest latch. Peli AIR cases rely on their latches to keep the lid compressed evenly against the gasket, so a cracked, loose, or missing latch can quietly undermine the seal at that corner even if the rest of the case still looks fine. Fitting the correct Peli part (rather than a generic aftermarket clip) keeps the closing tension, colour match, and fit exactly as the case left the factory.

Signs it's time to replace this latch

• The latch no longer clicks firmly shut, or pops open under light pressure or vibration.
• Visible cracking, chalky discolouration, or brittleness in the plastic (common after long UV exposure).
• The hinge pin area has worn enough that the latch wobbles side to side.
• One or more latches are simply missing after transit.

Important: this is the older-generation 36mm latch

Peli has since moved this catch to a newer 36mm generation, which is not interchangeable with this part. This listing is specifically the earlier design, MPN 1485-942-240SP – correct for AIR cases that shipped with this older catch style. If you're not sure which generation is fitted to your case, compare the latch on the case itself against the photo and part number here, or get in touch with us and we'll help you match it before you order. We don't maintain a guessed list of which individual AIR case models used this older catch, since Peli revised it across the range at different times – matching the physical part is the reliable way to be sure.

Highlights

• Genuine Peli part: made by Peli, not a third-party copy, so fit, colour and closing action match the original.
• Easy-open, double-step action: quick one-hand access while still locking down securely for transit.
• Compact and lightweight: 36 mm wide x 65 mm high, just 0.028 kg, so it adds virtually no weight to the case.
• Built for rough handling: the same impact-resistant plastic used across Peli's AIR and hard case ranges, designed to keep working after drops, pressure changes, and years of outdoor use.

Fitting notes

Like other Peli case hardware, this latch is retained on its post by a hinge pin. The pin should be knocked out with a punch and hammer rather than pried or unscrewed – there is no screw to remove. Tap the new latch's pin back into place the same way once the old latch is off. If you're unsure about the process, our support team can talk you through it or point you to Peli's own fitting guidance.
