Pelican 1650 Replacement Handle & Latch Set - Desert Tan handles

In this review of the Pelican 1650 Replacement Handle & Latch Set by ColorCase, the bottom line is simple: this kit is for anyone who needs to restore or upgrade a Pelican 1650 Protector Case with authentic parts and an exact color match. The set includes genuine Pelican medium and small handles with rubber overmolding plus seven double throw latches, and it delivers the original fit and function without guessing at compatibility. For field technicians, photographers, and travelers who depend on case security, the real advantage is durability and the familiar double throw latch action proven in the field.

Key Features

• Genuine Pelican parts: All handles and latches are original Pelican components sourced and made to order by ColorCase, ensuring an accurate fit for the 1650 Protector Case.
• Complete kit: The set includes one medium handle, two small handles, seven double throw latches and matching pins so you can fully replace worn hardware in one install.
• Double throw latch design: The two-part latch hinges in the middle for smoother opening and closing compared with one-piece designs, reducing stress on the case during use.
• Rubber overmolded grips: Medium and small handles include rubber overmolding for a more comfortable, non-slip hold when carrying heavy loads.
• Easy installation: The handles and latches can be installed with common tools and the kit ships with the pins required for reassembly.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at owners of Pelican 1650 Protector Cases who need authentic replacement hardware-professionals who rely on case integrity such as photographers, field engineers, first responders, and frequent travelers. It is also useful for anyone who wants a color-coordinated repair rather than a makeshift fix.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of non-1650 Pelican models or users seeking aftermarket parts with different styling or materials; this set is specifically tailored for the 1650 and uses Pelican's standard latches and handles.
