The Fastlatch security droid was a commercial-grade security droid used by the Trade Federation prior to the Battle of Naboo.

The Fastlatch model was a squat droid consisting of a domed, clamshell body suspended by four pincer-like legs. It had twin photoreceptors bracketing a single, central blaster cannon, and an antennae protruding from the upper dome. It appeared similar to a scaled-down version of the LM-432 crab droid used by the Commerce Guild during the Clone Wars. The Fastlatch model was considered illegal in most systems.

A number of Fastlatch droids were used as the defensive grid of the Aurorient Express in 38 BBY. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi destroyed several while attempting to gain entry to the vessel, which was falling through the atmosphere.
