The hatch is CNC machined out of seawater resistance aluminium 5083. The frame is also of aluminium 5083 or alternatively stainless steel 316L. The lockers are a proven Newthex design. The hatches are fitted out with high quality Newthex parts, a cover plate and a stainless steel pin locking system. When closed, the hatch is ush with the outer structure. Weather tightness is achieved by the Newthex special designed V- shape seal.

Sigmacover is applied at all aluminium parts. Stainless steel is passivated. Stainless steel parts in sight are polished according ‘Mirror 8’. Galvanic corrosion protection is achieved by using TEF-Gel, Sika ex 291, Lexan insulation sheets and synthetic inserts wherever applicable. The lockers are designed in Solid Works 3D software and strength calculations are carried out with Cosmos Works. The lockers with frames, hatches, cover plates and operating parts are fully assembled, adjusted and tested in the factory. The lockers will be delivered ready for welding into the ship’s structure. The lockers can be delivered with certificates of all major classification societies.
