The Iceland Coolers EZ Lock Latch Clip is the essential mounting piece that secures the cam-style EZ lock latches to your cooler body. If your existing latches are worn out, or you want to upgrade a generic cooler, this clip allows you to attach the reliable EZ Lock system where you want it most. It provides a secure attachment point for the latch mechanism to grip, keeping your lid sealed tight against outdoor heat and rough transport.
Many users replace broken OEM clips to restore their original cooler performance, while others use this hardware to customize aftermarket builds. You can pair this simple component with the rest of the EZ lock series for heavy-duty hauling and long-lasting security.
Why You'll Love It- Secure Attachment Point: Gives your manual EZ lock latch a solid surface to mount, ensuring smooth operation every time you open or close the lid.
- Brand Authenticity: Designed specifically for Iceland Coolers to match their exact latch geometry and maintain factory performance.
- Conversion Flexibility: Acts as the foundation to convert most other cooler brands to our preferred style of latch when combined with compatible handles.
- Direct Repair: Functions as a straightforward replacement when old plastic gets brittle, stripped, or cracks over years of heavy use.
- Builds Reliability: Serves as the critical connection in DIY projects where you want premium locking security on custom insulated boxes.
- Lid conversions to the EZ lock style
- Replacing worn-out or lost mounting clips
- Installing new locking mechanisms on generic coolers
- Converting bulk coolers for event catering
- Restoring factory fitment on older fishing trips
Measure twice before you drill. Check your current latch alignment and measure the hole spacing carefully so the new latch sits perfectly flush with your cooler lid.
Solid hardware matters. Use quality screws rated for your cooler's material—whether thick plastic, stainless steel, or marine-grade aluminum—to ensure the clip holds firm under travel tension.
Upgrade the entire system at once. Pair this clip with brand-new EZ lock latches for a complete refresh. Mixing aging latches with fresh mounting hardware will not give you the same snug cam action.
Plan for cold weather storage. Keep spare clips handy for winter months, since plastics become more brittle in freezing temperatures and are more prone to cracking during impact.
Who's This For?- Owners repairing cracked or missing latch receivers on their Iceland Coolers
- DIY enthusiasts who prefer upgrading off-the-shelf coolers with premium locking hardware
- Users switching brands who want to adapt standard lids to the versatile EZ lock system
- Campers needing a quick fix after losing a crucial latching component on the trail
Does this clip hold the EZ lock latch securely?
Yes. This clip serves as the anchored receiver for the cam-style latch, providing a sturdy platform that keeps the handle locked in place while sealing your cooler.
Can I use this to convert other coolers?
You can use this clip alongside compatible EZ lock latches to convert most other cooler brands to our preferred style. Expect to fabricate custom mounting solutions when moving beyond standard factory setups.
Do I need to drill holes to install this?
Yes. You will need to drill your own holes to permanently add both the clip and the latch mechanism securely to your cooler walls.
Will this work if I already have EZ lock latches?
If you already own the latches and are simply looking for the mounting clip they click into, this is exactly what you need to finish the job.
What size are the mounting holes?
Hole sizing depends on your specific latch configuration and the material of your cooler shell. Plan your measurements based on the actual hardware dimensions.
How do I prevent my cooler from splitting when drilling?
Pilot holes reduce stress on cooler materials. Start with a small pilot bit, drill slowly through the marked area to avoid cracking the plastic or denting thin metals.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
