Pelican 1637 Replacement Handle & Latch Set - Blue Handles & Push

In this review the Pelican 1637 Replacement Handle & Latch Set by ColorCase is evaluated for users who need to repair or customize a Pelican 1637 Protector Case. The bottom line: this kit is for people who want genuine Pelican parts with a clear focus on ergonomics and reliable closure. It includes multiple handles and five push-button latches so a single purchase replaces the most common wear items. Installation is straightforward with common tools, and the blue rubber-overmolded handles add both grip and a distinctive look.

Key Features

• Genuine Pelican parts: All components are original Pelican parts sourced by ColorCase so fit and function match factory standards.
• Complete kit: The set includes one medium handle, two small handles and all necessary pins and five latches for a full door-to-handle refresh.
• Push-button latches: The newer Pelican push-button latch design provides a smoother, easier release than older double-throw styles for hassle-free access.
• Rubber overmolding: Blue rubber on the handles improves grip and comfort when carrying heavy loads or when wearing gloves.
• Easy installation: Parts can be installed with common hand tools and the kit ships with the matching pins, reducing the need for extra hardware.

Who It's For

This replacement set is aimed at Pelican 1637 owners, field technicians, photographers, and outdoor professionals who need authentic replacement parts that maintain the case's original durability and sealing behavior. It's also useful for hobbyists who like to color-code equipment or restore older cases.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who want full case replacement rather than parts, or buyers who need custom-sized handles or latches not compatible with the 1637 Protector Case. If you require metal latches or nonstandard modifications, consult a specialist rather than this genuine parts kit.
