Nvent AEK115 Door Handle Interlock

Product Description

The NVENT AEK115 is a door handle interlock designed to prevent access to energized electrical enclosures until power has been safely disconnected. This mechanical safety device integrates with enclosure door handles to create a physical barrier that blocks the door from opening while the system remains live. It is typically installed by licensed electricians and electrical maintenance technicians working on industrial control panels, electrical distribution enclosures, and similar equipment where lockout/tagout and access control are required by code or facility safety policy.

The AEK115 is suited for industrial and commercial applications where enclosure safety interlocking is required. It is commonly specified on motor control centers, switchgear cabinets, and electrical panel enclosures. The interlock mechanism provides a reliable means of enforcing safe access procedures in facilities governed by NFPA 70E electrical safety standards and similar workplace safety regulations.

Key Features

• Mechanical interlock prevents door opening while enclosure is energized
• Integrates with standard enclosure door handle hardware
• Supports lockout/tagout compliance for electrical safety programs
• Compact design suited to panel and cabinet installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or original-fit interlock for electrical enclosures requiring door handle safety interlocking. Consult NVENT documentation to confirm fitment with specific enclosure models.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NFPA 70E and applicable local electrical codes. De-energize and lock out the enclosure before beginning any installation or replacement work. Verify that the interlock mechanism engages and releases correctly with the door handle assembly before returning the enclosure to service. Do not defeat or bypass the interlock under any circumstances.
