Overview

The nVent AL32Y Latch Kit (SKU: AL32Y) is a tamper-resistant locking solution designed for Type 4/12 enclosures with external screw clamps. This latch kit features a 7mm square steel insert (AL32 series) and requires a square or triangular key for operation, ensuring enhanced security in industrial environments. Engineered from plated steel, it delivers superior corrosion resistance and long-term reliability in chemically aggressive or high-vibration settings. The AL32Y provides an IP66/IP67-rated seal with an internal O-ring and external gasket, resisting water ingress (including temporary immersion) and dust infiltration. Its quarter-turn (90-degree) operation enables rapid access while maintaining a secure seal, making it ideal for applications requiring frequent door opening and closing. Installation is straightforward, requiring only a drilled or punched hole in the enclosure door for each latch point. Compatible with NEMA Type 4/12 enclosures, the AL32Y is widely used in industries such as oil & gas, chemical processing, food and beverage, water treatment, and renewable energy. It is part of nVent’s comprehensive portfolio of enclosure access solutions, trusted by engineers and facility managers worldwide for its durability, ease of use, and environmental sealing performance.
