4-7/8 Inch Easy Grip Rubber Hood Catch With A-Bracket

Rugged Security Meets Easy Access — Built for Heavy-Duty Applications

When you need reliable, vibration-resistant hood retention, trust the strength and flexibility of our 4-7/8″ Easy Grip Rubber Hood Catch with A-Bracket. Designed to secure hoods, engine compartments, toolboxes, and access panels in trucks, trailers, and off-road vehicles, this durable rubber latch keeps components locked in place—even in high-vibration environments.

With a heavy-duty rubber construction, corrosion-resistant mounting bracket, and an ergonomic grip design, this hood catch provides a reliable hold and user-friendly operation that stands up to years of hard use.

Key Features:

• 4-7/8″ Overall Length
  This hood catch is optimized for medium- to large-size panels, hoods, or access doors. Its length offers just the right amount of stretch to ensure a secure fit while allowing for quick release when needed.

• Durable Molded Rubber Construction
  Built from industrial-grade EPDM rubber, this latch is highly resistant to UV rays, ozone, extreme weather, and road debris. It remains flexible in cold temperatures and durable in heat, making it ideal for year-round use on trucks, construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and more.

• Easy Grip Handle Design
  The contoured rubber handle offers superior grip, even when wearing gloves or working in wet, greasy, or muddy conditions. The ergonomic design allows for fast, one-hand operation—perfect for busy techs, operators, and drivers.

• Pre-Assembled A-Bracket Mounting System
  Includes a high-strength steel A-bracket with pre-drilled mounting holes, making installation simple and secure. The bracket is finished with a corrosion-resistant coating to ensure longevity, even in harsh environments.

• Shock-Absorbing and Vibration Resistant
  The flexible rubber body absorbs vibration and prevents rattling, unlike metal latches that can loosen over time. Keeps hoods and panels firmly in place, reducing wear and preventing premature failure of connected components.

Common Applications:

• Truck hoods and side access panels

• Trailer toolboxes and compartments

• Agricultural machinery enclosures

• Construction equipment hatches

• Off-road 4×4 rigs and UTVs

• Generator housings and heavy-duty carts

This hood catch is a go-to solution for anyone who needs quick, secure access to panels or compartments while maintaining rugged protection on the move.
