“What differentiates our door handle from others is that it can easily be opened with one hand,” said Fred Cook, President of Schaefer Marine. “This is because of the unique trigger opening mechanism that we have designed. It can be helpful for getting in or out of the door quickly if you have something in one hand. This is particularly important when helping someone back aboard or when you need to retrieve something from the water. For fisherman, it also helps get water out of the cockpit quickly after backing down on a fish.”

Schaefer’s Transom Door Latch is designed with a mold pattern identical to most products currently on the market. Marketing research has shown that this is a highly desired convenience feature because other door latches can be replaced without having to drill new holes. In addition, it is made entirely of electro polished 316 Stainless Steel, unlike some other models that have plastic pull pins that can easily break. It will be available September 1, 2006.
