Padlock versions of EMKA’s popular 1107 and 1125 Swinghandles and of their slim line 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, offer a simple to fit solution as part of the structured EMKA system.

These items compliment the EMKA L-handle in stainless steel with padlock capability, the quarter-turn key lock and its sister wing-handle, which all accept standard UK hasps of 3/16” to 3/8”. 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 where simple operation and sealing up to IP65 is also valuable.

Whatever the size of cabinet there is an EMKA 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 to suit the application and to operate the many single point or multiple point lever locking systems which EMKA offer.
