Overview

The nVent AL36BR (SKU: AL36BR) is a 3-point padlock latch kit designed for field installation on one-door Type 12 enclosures. Constructed from durable SS304 stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance for harsh industrial environments. This kit provides a secure, dust-tight, and watertight seal, crucial for protecting sensitive electrical and electronic components. The 3-point locking mechanism enhances security, while adjustable latch rods ensure optimal gasket compression through simple pin relocation. Rods are easily removable by taking out the pin for maintenance. All door openings are gasketed, and roller-tipped latch rods facilitate easier door closing. The AL36BR is compatible with most standard one-door Type 12 enclosures but excludes HOFFMAN disconnect, Concept, and ProLine models. It supports both clockwise (CW) and counter-clockwise (CCW) operation and accommodates standard padlocks for enhanced security. This latch kit is ideal for applications in manufacturing, utilities, and telecommunications where enclosure integrity and protection against environmental ingress are paramount.
  • Each kit includes a handle, latch, latch rods, adjustable rod guides and all hardware

  • Two keys are furnished with keylocking handles
  • Padlock provision for added security.

How to Install the AL2A Latch Kit

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the AL2A latch kit, ensuring proper mounting and functionality.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Drill, Screwdriver, Wire strippers

Supplies needed:

Nylon washers, Handle gasket, Latch rods, Roller pin, Retaining ring

  1. Drill holes for the latch

    Locate and drill holes in the door from the outside edges using the dimensions provided in the installation guide. Ensure that you do not drill holes for rod guides.

  2. Install the handle gasket

    Place the nylon washers and handle gasket on the outside of the door to ensure proper sealing. This step is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the latch.

  3. Adjust latch rods

    If the latch rod is too long, select the appropriate hole and cut the latch rods approximately 3/8 inch from the center of the hole. Confirm the hole selection before cutting to avoid mistakes.

  4. Secure the roller pin

    Insert the roller pin into the designated hole and secure it with the retaining ring. If the gasket compression is excessive, adjust the roller pin one hole at a time until the proper compression is achieved.

  5. Position the latch

    Use the provided washers to position the latch by spacing it in or out as required for optimal functionality.
