Hinge boosts workplace safety
Installation of the 1110-SU123 hinge is a simple matter using blind M6 screws on the door and countersunk M6 screws for the main body of the hinge.
Compression latches provide secure closure
Emka's 1000 range of compression latches handle vibration-prone applications using an adjustable clamp action.
This minimises tooling, speeds punching and streamlines lock installation irrespective of type or size.
The Emka cut-out is a major factor in allowing a wide choice from its universal quarter -turn key/lock insert system, from low-profile insert or key locks to wing knob, T handle, L handle, padlockable handles or swing handles.
This makes it easy for the specialist enclosure manufacturer to programme production for a simple door cut-out and then to select a suitable lock/handle unit irrespective of door size or material.
Single locks on small boxes, twin or triple point locking can all be achieved with the same lock cut-out.
Available materials include zinc die (black or chrome), black polyamide and stainless steel.
The whole system, based on the standard 20.1mm rounded corner cut-out, is flexible enough to cope with door thickness from 1 up to 50mm acoustic panelling.
By the simple expedient of standardising the interface between lock and cabinet, Emka is able to offer one locking system for a whole area of enclosure production.
Consequently, specialist enclosure manufacturers can rely on simply picking what they need from this range to cover the majority of their locking needs for all industrial purposes. Request a free brochure from Emka UK ...
