Swing handle locking solutions for switch and control cabinets

Update: September 30, 2021

EMKA now offer a wide range of market-leading Swinghandle designs that provide a safe rest position with leverage comparable to an L-handle, but without the protrusion where people and clothing can get caught. This is essential in often busy and crowded industrial environments, where protruding handles could otherwise be a safety hazard. Their low profile also gives a smoother surface when in transit, where L and T handles can damage adjacent cabinets or may require on-site installation – a swinghandle design solves all these problems.

Swinghandles are generally modular, with many alternatives to accommodate key cylinders, insert keys, multiple key cylinders and padlocks. They may be installed with multi-point rod locking systems and options incorporate electronic locking, digital PIN locking, swipe cards and Biometric locking at the cabinet door.

They provide an intrinsic level of vandal resistance by the pop-out handle being recessed inside its housing. This layout allows some variants to meet the RC2 vandal resistance standard for outdoor street cabinets. This recessed layout facilitates sealing against ingress of dust and water from IP40 to IP66 across the range. Material options incorporate zinc die, polyamide and stainless steel.
