Rittal VX 8618.240 VX Comfort Handle - E1 Lock

Folding action keeps the handle out of the swing arc, expanding the usable door surface for mounted equipment. This enables higher port density and more flexible cable routing inside VX enclosures without reworking the cabinet layout. In automotive electrical infrastructure and industrial automation, the result is faster assembly, easier maintenance, and more predictable space planning. Lock insert E1 provides an integrated security feature without requiring separate hardware. This reduces the risk of opportunistic access in busy plant environments and supports consistent access control across multiple cabinets. The rugged die-cast zinc body resists tampering and, combined with the RAL 7035 finish, maintains visual uniformity across a factory floor. The design also simplifies service procedures by keeping keys consistent. Die-cast zinc construction delivers robust durability for door handles in demanding environments, while the RAL 7035 colour provides a standard, easy-to-match appearance across VX enclosures. The snap-mounted design supports fast field installation, reducing commissioning time, and technician hours. This compatibility minimizes the risk of misalignment or tool-related damage during assembly and ensures reliable operation for years of service. It supports quick audits and visual inspection. Type rating to UL 50E Type 1 confirms suitability for non-seismic, electrical enclosure doors in vertical installations, aligning with common safety expectations in industrial facilities. Each pack contains one unit and weighs 0.691 kg, simplifying inventory handling and replacement planning. The supply is shipped without a key, which supports centralized access control in teams managing multiple VX cabinets. With standard packaging, misplacement is reduced.
