Nvent DL36 Key-locking Latch

Product Description

The NVENT DL36 is a key-locking latch designed to secure enclosure doors and panels in electrical and industrial applications. It provides a reliable mechanical fastening point that can only be released with the correct key, restricting unauthorized access to the interior of the enclosure. This type of latch is commonly specified on electrical cabinets, junction boxes, and control panels where access control is required by code or site safety policy. Licensed electricians and panel installers are the primary tradespeople who specify and install this hardware.

The DL36 is suited for use on metallic and non-metallic enclosures in both residential and commercial settings. It is typically installed on hinged door panels where a flush or quarter-turn locking mechanism is needed to meet NFPA or NEC access restriction requirements. The compact form factor makes it adaptable to a range of enclosure door thicknesses and panel cutout configurations.

Key Features

• Key-locking mechanism restricts unauthorized enclosure access

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or enclosure fabricator. De-energize all circuits within the enclosure before servicing or replacing door hardware. Ensure the panel cutout dimensions match the latch body before installation. Follow applicable NEC guidelines for enclosure access and securing requirements.
