Overview

The nVent AL36A is a field-installable padlock latch kit designed for one-door Type 12 enclosures. Constructed from durable SS304 stainless steel with a brushed finish, this kit offers robust security and environmental sealing. It is compatible with both clockwise (CW) and counterclockwise (CCW) door swings, providing installation flexibility. The AL36A features an adjustable latch rod system with rollers on the rod ends to ensure proper gasket compression and reduce friction during door closure. This adjustability is critical for maintaining a reliable seal over time. The latch rods can be easily removed by detaching the pins for simplified maintenance. This latch kit is specifically designed for Type 12 enclosures and is not compatible with HOFFMAN disconnect, CONCEPT, or PROLINE enclosures. SKU: AL36A. The AL36A provides a 1-point latching mechanism for single-door Type 12 enclosures. Its construction ensures a watertight and dust-tight seal when properly installed. The kit includes a handle, latch, latch rods, adjustable rod guides, and all necessary hardware. The adjustable rod guides allow for precise gasket compression, and the rollers on the rod ends facilitate smooth door closure. This design ensures long-term sealing integrity. The field-installable nature of the AL36A allows for quick upgrades or replacements on existing enclosures.
