Electro Hardware K1245 Fold Down Handle Aluminum 6 in

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE K1245 is a fold down handle designed for equipment panels, enclosures, and access doors where a low-profile grip is required. Constructed from aluminum with a plain finish, this handle lies flat when not in use and folds up to provide a secure grip during operation or maintenance. The 6-inch center-to-center spacing and 5/16-inch thread size make it a straightforward fit for standard mounting hole patterns. Its lightweight aluminum construction suits applications where weight and corrosion resistance are a consideration. Licensed trades and maintenance technicians working on industrial enclosures, electrical panels, and equipment cabinets are the primary installers.

This fold down handle is suited for use on control panels, junction box covers, access hatches, and similar equipment enclosures in both commercial and industrial settings. The plain aluminum finish integrates cleanly into unpainted or brushed metal surfaces. The 5/16-24 thread size is common in panel hardware applications, making the K1245 a practical replacement or upgrade handle for a range of enclosure types.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified electrician, maintenance technician, or panel fabricator. Power down and de-energize any enclosure before mounting hardware to exposed panel surfaces. Standard hand tools are sufficient for installation using the 5/16-24 threaded fasteners. Confirm that the mounting surface thickness and hole pattern are compatible with the hardware before final assembly.
