Stainless steel and polymer swinghandles are padlockable
Padlock versions of EMKA's popular 1107 and 1125 swinghandles and slimline 2100 programme are designed to make life easier for specifiers/designers, fabricators and operators of specialist enclosures where a padlocking facility is required in corrosive environments. Use of stainless steel padlockable through-pillars, with reinforced polyamide bodies, makes the swinghandles easy to use yet robust. These items complement the stainless steel EMKA L-handle with padlock capability, the quarter-turn key lock and its sister wing-handle, which all accept standard UK hasps of 3/16 to 3/8inch. European padlock sizes of 4.5mm to 10mm are accommodated with appropriate variants.
The ability to padlock cabinets with one or more locks for safety and security is an increasingly important consideration, especially where high voltages or otherwise dangerous or sensitive equipment is housed. For example, electrical/electronic equipment in industrial process, offshore, HVAC, medical, food and automotive industries often require simple operation and sealing to IP65.
Whatever the size of cabinet EMKA says it offers a padlocking handle to suit, with or without standard cylinder locks or to Ford specification. Finish is in black polyamide, black epoxy, chrome or plain stainless steel to suit the application and to operate the many single-point or multiple-point lever locking systems from EMKA.
