Modular panel locking has reduced flange
needs
A cabinet locking system with reduced flange requirements has many advantages for specialist panel builders, as offered by a modular system concept.
A cabinet locking system with reduced flange requirements has many advantages for specialist panel builders, and the EMKA 2000 program has been designed to maximise these benefits Design, of course, is an evolving part of engineering, linking customer needs to practical possibility - especially with a modular system concept such as the 2000 locking program which now offers four complete generic systems, each with its own merits for electrical/electronic cabinets, for ventilation panels, for factory equipment or for office equipment

Compression latches enhance cabinet security
The EMKA 1000 program compression latches feature built-in adjustment as well as industry standard key numbering to match or extend existing installations.
Polyamide wing handle resists corrosion
EMKA has introduced a corrosion-resistant polyamide wing handle with polyamide barrel and cam for closure of electrical enclosures, cabinets, wall mounted boxes, toolboxes, etc.
To exemplify this we can see that the 2400 series reduces space taken by the operating mechanism, which passes through a 7mm slot in the door (rather than a typical 25mm hole) with the locking rods outside the door gasket area.
This reduces the cabinet flange requirement from 37.5mm to 27mm - a gain of 10mm width over the full height of the door.
The slimmer flange permits either a larger backplate or smaller cabinet as preferred.
The 2400 handle has the ability to accept a custom moulded outer escutcheon to suit particular installation design criteria, e.g for OEM's or to develop corporate customer identity.
In addition the 2400 series accepts all standard EMKA locking options, e.g lock inserts, key cylinders and half cylinders, push buttons and even other manufacturers' lock cylinders to match company security programs.
2600 series on the other hand has its operating mechanism internal to the sealed area, with an IP65 sealed handle suited to areas where problems of dust or water ingress are an issue.
The 2600 handle also has a reduced height escutcheon and the whole system is specifically designed to be reversible for left-hand or right-hand doors using the same handle - making life easier for panel builders and installers. Request a free brochure from Emka UK ...
