LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Clean latch shims with a microfiber cloth and a mild detergent solution, then wipe dry to prevent corrosion and grime build-up. Scrub high-touch zones like door handles and chair backs weekly with an EPA-registered disinfectant to reduce Norovirus and cold virus transfer and avoid front-to-back contamination. Inspect for debris under shelves and around serving stations; remove crumbs to deter pests. Regular cleaning preserves appearance, extends service life, and supports CSA-compliant surfaces.#@@#Additional Info#@#PartsTown 742264 LATCH SHIM fits equipment needing a 4.75" by 4.75" shim with 0.3" thickness and 0.12 pounds weight, designed for alignment correction and secure latch engagement; CSA-compatible materials ensure reliable replacement and service.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#

#@@# Dimensions Control#@#
Installers receive a shim with a length of 4.75 inches and a width of 4.75 inches, offering a flat, stable profile that addresses misalignment without complex adjustments. Technicians achieve target clearances using the 0.3-inch height to fine-tune door engagement and latch travel.
#@@# Lightweight Handling#@#
Field crews benefit from a component that weighs 0.12 pounds, simplifying transport and reducing strain during repetitive replacements. Crew members can perform multiple installs per shift with less fatigue and faster cycle times.
#@@# Durable Material Performance#@#
Manufacturing emphasizes corrosion resistance and dimensional stability to preserve alignment under regular use in kitchens, hospitals, and hospitality settings. Maintenance staff achieve longer service intervals when operators pair this shim with routine inspections.
#@@# Compatibility Flexibility#@#
Designers crafted the shim to integrate with common latch assemblies and access hardware used across food service and institutional facilities. Procurement managers can standardize stock levels easily because the part adapts to multiple door and panel geometries.
#@@# Simple Installation#@#
Field procedures require minimal tooling and no specialized training, enabling facilities teams to complete repairs during scheduled maintenance windows. Supervisors can reduce contractor dependency and lower repair costs by empowering in-house technicians.
