Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing MHK2 is a 6-inch, 3-point padlocking latch constructed from durable zinc-plated die-cast material. Designed for NEMA 12 and NEMA 4 rated enclosures, this latch enhances security with its integrated padlock "trigger" design, allowing direct padlocking without additional hardware. The 3-point engagement system offers superior stability and tamper resistance compared to single-point latches, making it ideal for applications requiring robust access control. The MHK2 is engineered for flexible installation, serving as a field replacement for existing slotted latches or fitting into provided cutout holes. Its reversible cam position further simplifies mounting in various configurations. Key lock and defeater versions are available, with key lock models including two keys. This latch is compatible with specific Hammond enclosure series such as 1418, 1422, UHD, HN4, and HWHK, and can be factory-installed on other series. The MHK2 maintains the enclosure's NEMA rating while providing secure access management. SKU: MHK2.
