Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100208308 Latch
Ensure a secure seal on your commercial water heating and hydronic systems with the Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100208308 Door Latch. Engineered as a direct OEM replacement for a variety of high-efficiency boilers and water heaters, this industrial-grade door catch (formerly identified as part number MSC20062K or 100162552) is critical for maintaining the mechanical integrity of access panels. A loose or failing latch can compromise the unit’s enclosure, leading to vibration noise or potential safety shut-offs if the panel-proving switches are not properly engaged. This blue door catch is designed for high-cycle durability and consistent tension, ensuring that the combustion chamber access remains tightly sealed against the cabinet frame. Field technicians often refer to this as the Lochinvar 100208308 latch, and it is a standard stock item for servicing ARMOR and Knight series units. By utilizing genuine OEM HVAC parts, you maintain the original equipment specifications and ensure seamless compatibility with existing mounting points.
Key Benefits- Precise OEM Fit: Drop-in replacement for Lochinvar part 100208308 and A.O. Smith water heater latches, eliminating the need for cabinet modifications.
- Vibration Dampening: High-tension design secures the access door to prevent rattling and mechanical wear during high-fire operation.
- Enhanced Safety: Maintains necessary pressure on panel interlocks, preventing nuisance codes related to open-enclosure faults.
- Durable Construction: Built to withstand the high-temperature environment of a mechanical room without losing spring tension.
Is the 100208308 latch compatible with older Lochinvar models?
Yes, this part replaces several legacy numbers, including MSC20062K and 100162552. It is routinely used across a broad range of Lochinvar and A.O. Smith commercial units where a blue nylon or metal catch is required.
Do I need special tools to install this door catch?
Installation is straightforward and typically only requires basic hand tools. It is designed to snap or screw directly into the pre-existing panel frame orifices found on compatible boiler and heater cabinets.
How can I tell if my current latch needs replacement?
If the access panel feels loose, sags, or if you notice an increase in cabinet vibration, the internal spring or catch mechanism has likely fatigued. Replacing the door latch restores the factory-spec seal.
