Top Value
A FREEMAN Cast Deck Hatch is the best buy for every flush hatch application. Measure it against any other deck hatch for long life of materials, strength of design, precision fit, smooth action, dependable mechanism, and built-in, never-lost handle.

Approvals
Lloyd's Register - type approval certificate number 09/60003(E1). U.S. Coast Guard, ISO-12216 compliant. ABS, Bureau Veritas and Germanischer Lloyd's approvals have been awarded and may be obtained for specific intended uses. Freeman Cast Deck Hatches are currently in use on Coast Guard vessels and U.S. Naval craft of all types.

Positive Dogging
Evenly spaced dogging arms (either 3, 4 or 8 per hatch) exert uniform pull on the cover plate. Handle position shows when dogging arms are engaged or loose.

Unlocking
Simply grasp the handle and pull, the shaft slides up into place, and with less than a quarter of a turn the locking mechanism completely disengages. It's a matter of one or two seconds.

Handle Stays Put
The handle is built in - permanently part of the hatch so it's right where you need it every time. Can't get lost.

Hatch Sealed
Hatch and handle fit flush with the deck, the handle in recessed lock position. Say goodbye to lost cover wrenches - the FREEMAN Cast Hatch handle is always there when you need it.
