Hive box latches (wooden ware only)

$20.00

One pair of steel Apimaye latches with the handle and grooves. 

These are for wooden hives, and not for the Apimaye hives. 

Please note:We have seen multiple box manufacturers with different handhold locations and sizes, some of which unfortunately coincide with the latch locations. It's usually the lower 2 screws. It can be resolved by: 

  • Using longer screws for the bottom two screws

  • Screwing them with an angle up (if the holes are right by the top of the handhold)

  • Using a larger metal plate like 2 gang electric box covers and attaching that to the box, and then screwing the latch and handles with screws to that.
