The Henny Penny 16102 latch knob is the red round ball knob fitted directly to the lid latch assembly (16116) on the front crossbar. It is the operator's primary grip for engaging and releasing the lid latch on every single frying cycle — the most frequently touched component on the entire fryer. When it cracks, breaks, or is stripped at the thread, the latch mechanism becomes difficult and potentially unsafe to operate.

Note: part number 16102 appears in two positions on the Henny Penny lid assembly diagram — as the latch knob (Item 18, this listing) and as a spindle knob (Item 31). The physical part is identical but this listing covers its role as the latch operating knob on the 16116 latch assembly.

Important Information

The latch knob threads directly onto the 16116 lid latch body. When replacing the knob, always inspect the 16116 latch assembly itself for wear or structural damage. If the latch body is also compromised, consider the complete front lid latch kit (16116 + 16102) available from LaunchCatering Ltd, which supplies both parts together in a single order.
