Hammond MHKL1 6" Keyed Padlocking Zinc Handle, 1-Point Latch

The MHKL1 is a 6" keyed padlocking enclosure handle kit with a 1-point latch, made in zinc die-cast. It belongs to the MHK Series of Type 12/4, 4X handle kits and is intended for panel builders, electricians and OEM engineers who need a lockable operating handle on a Hammond industrial enclosure. As a key lock version, it includes 2 keys, and it also keeps the padlock "trigger" design for security requirements.

The handle is zinc die-cast with a textured black powder coat finish, and the MHK ordering table lists it with a NEMA 12, 4 rating. Hammond states that the handle maintains the NEMA rating of the enclosure it is fitted to, and a removable handle stop lets the handle be set up for either clockwise or counter-clockwise operation.

This is the 1-point latch configuration (Hammond description: "6” KEYED PADLOCKING 1PT LATCH"). The part drawing shows an overall dimension of 7.22, and the kit ships boxed at 2 lbs (0.91 kg).

Hammond specifies the handle for field installation on its 1418, 1422, UHD, HN4, HWHK enclosures with a minimum enclosure height of 24" (600mm); factory installation is optionally available by contacting Hammond. The MHKL1 is REACH and RoHS compliant.
