New generation of locking device


Camlock Systems Ltd has launched a new generation of locking device known as Series 35 which it says combines strength and enhanced protection.


D T


eveloped over two years, the all-new isotoxal mechanism features a unique asymmetrical warded keyway that prevents the entry and/or operation of an incorrect key. Seven stainless steel locking elements fasten the central core to the outer body and it has a hardened steel anti-drill centre post. Further protection from


drilling is provided by a second hardened roller inside the lock, which spins freely when a drill bit comes into contact with it. Camlock states that the Series 35 provides a simple retrofit upgrade for most popular styles of


specialist locks or can be designed into new equipment where high security and peace of mind is paramount. Over 750,000 different key combinations are available, allowing an exclusive key combination to be allocated to the user or purchaser.


This combination can be registered online with Camlock Systems, to ensure that only authorised personnel can obtain extra keys. Patents have been applied for internationally to protect the lock’s integrity and its cutting edge design.


Southco adds cam latch option An expanded selection of Southco® E5 Cam Latches now adds intuitive push-to-close convenience


to the existing versatility and affordability of this modular line. Styling and access control options include hand, tool, and key-actuated models.


he new designs satisfy both single-point and two-point latching installations across a variety of commercial applications ranging from light duty use with covers and access panels in HVAC, office furniture, and industrial


machinery, to storage compartments in recreational vehicles and bus, truck, or railway applications. The ease of operation in single-point latching applications


incorporates a spring-loaded ramped cam. As with conventional cam latches the mechanism rotates to disengage from the keeper. But once the panel is opened and the cam rotates back to the "closed" position, the ramp-shaped face of the retractable cam functions like a push-to-close mechanism. This assures safe, trouble-free operation even if the door is shut with the cam in the closed position. For configuration flexibility in multi-point latching


applications, the new E5 two-point-latching adapter connects with cable actuators used to drive Southco R4 rotary series latches. In this design, the driver and actuators return to their original positions as soon as the driver is released after opening,


while the rotary latches provide push-to-close engagement with robust latching security. Access control options for all versions range from hand-


actuated wing-handle, T-handle, and L-handle styles to tool- actuated head styles. Those include conventional slotted, hex, square, and triangle-shaped drivers, as well as industry-specific tool options such as Bellcore 216, Bellcore electronics, and Railway standard drivers. Multiple keylocking configurations offer flexible keycode options. All latches, regardless of head style, include a latched/unlatched position indicator. “Like other Southco E5 cam latches, the new push-to-close


designs are easy to install in panels ranging from 1mm to 6mm thick (0.04 inches to 0.24 inches), using single-hole panel prep. Head styles are available in standard bright chrome and black powder-coated finishes. Cam bodies include an internal O-ring and a sealing washer to accommodate NEMA 4 and IP-66 applications. Pull-tab and padlock bracket accessories are also available to customise installations to specific user requirements.”


EMKA’s 1091 latch can handle pressure


EMKA yet again demonstrates its adaptability as a manufacturer of enclosure hardware, with the introduction of a heavy duty 1091 latch (IP65) for machine guards, machine tools, generators, ovens and test cabinets.


T


hese types of cabinet in particular can have significant internal pressure, requiring considerable leverage on the latch handle for satisfactory closure. EMKA says that the 1091 can provide the required leverage by virtue of its


engineering quality and ergonomic design. The 1091 features robust black die construction which ensures


that the 1091 can withstand heavy usage while tolerating rough handling in hostile environments and offering protection to IP65 levels. Additional features include padlockable and key lockable


facilities using all standard EMKA inserts such as square, triangular etc, with mounting via the standard EMKA hole form. Escutcheon design permits right or left handed fitment and the handle can be used with either a single point cam or 3-point. Round rod operation is therefore also possible where additional door closure points are required. EMKA’s heavy duty handles are supported by its comprehensive


range of stainless steel locks and hinges as well as extruded enclosure gasket profiles in EPDM, neoprene and PVC.
