Locking Nylon T-Handle 3226

The Whitecap Locking Nylon T-Handle 3226 is a marine-grade latch designed for hatches and compartments on boats. Its white nylon construction resists corrosion from saltwater and UV exposure. The integrated locking mechanism secures gear without a separate padlock. It suits boat owners and marine technicians fitting or replacing access hardware.

Cut-out dimensions and shaft length

Installation requires a 3-inch cut-out and accommodates surface depths from 1/8 inch to 3/4 inch. The 1-3/8 inch shaft engages the cam reliably across that range. A fastener is supplied, so no extra hardware purchase is needed. The T-handle grip allows quick, one-handed operation even with wet gloves.

Supplied fastener and finish

The included fastener matches the handle material, preventing galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals. White finish reflects sunlight, keeping the handle cooler to touch on deck. No additional software, lubricants or tools are bundled. The package delivers everything required for a single installation.

Questions about this item

What size cut-out does the 3226 T-handle require for installation?

The handle needs a 3-inch cut-out diameter, and the mounting surface must be between 1/8 inch and 3/4 inch thick for the locking mechanism to engage properly.

What hardware is supplied with the Whitecap 3226 locking T-handle?

The package includes the necessary fastener, so no separate screws or bolts are needed to complete the mounting.

How deep is the shaft on the 3226 handle, and what alignment step is often missed?

The shaft extends 1-3/8 inches behind the flange; installers sometimes forget to verify the surface depth falls within the 1/8 to 3/4 inch range before tightening the fastener.
