Electro Hardware K1245-2 Fold Down Handle Clear Aluminum

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE K1245-2 is a fold down handle designed for equipment panels, enclosures, and access doors where a low-profile grip is needed when not in use. Constructed from aluminum with a clear finish, this handle folds flat against the surface to reduce protrusion and prevent snagging in tight installations. It features a 6-inch center-to-center mounting span, a round knob shape, and a 5/16-24 thread size. Electricians, enclosure fabricators, and mechanical contractors install this handle on control panels, junction boxes, and industrial equipment doors where space and clearance are critical.

This fold down handle is suited for light industrial, commercial, and panel fabrication applications. It is a practical choice for equipment access doors, rack-mounted enclosures, and utility panels where the handle must lie flush during operation or transport. The clear aluminum finish resists corrosion and blends with standard aluminum panel surfaces, making it appropriate for both indoor and controlled outdoor enclosure environments.

Key Features

• Folds flat when not in use, reducing projection and clearance requirements
• Aluminum construction with clear finish for corrosion resistance
• 6-inch center-to-center mounting span for standard panel layouts
• Round knob shape for comfortable grip during operation
• 5/16-24 threaded mounting for secure fastening to panel surfaces
• Overall knob diameter of 5/16 inches keeps the profile compact

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fold down handle for aluminum and steel equipment panels, enclosures, and access doors requiring a 6-inch center-to-center mount with 5/16-24 thread fastening.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by electricians, panel fabricators, or mechanical contractors working on enclosure assembly or field service. Power down and de-energize any electrical enclosure before drilling mounting holes or fastening hardware. Verify that the panel material thickness is compatible with the 5/16-24 thread engagement length before final assembly. Follow applicable NEC guidelines when mounting hardware on electrical enclosures.
