Overview

The nVent AL36DR is a 3-point padlock latch kit designed for one-door Type 12 enclosures, specifically for heights ranging from 60 to 72 inches. Constructed from durable 304 stainless steel with a brushed finish, this field-installable kit provides secure closure and a watertight, dust-tight seal essential for protecting sensitive electrical components. The AL36DR features adjustable latch rods that allow for precise gasket compression control by relocating pins in the rod guides, ensuring optimal sealing against dust, dirt, and dripping water. Roller ends on the latch rods facilitate smoother door operation and reduce wear. This kit is compatible with most standard one-door Type 12 enclosures, excluding Hoffman disconnect, CONCEPT, or PROLINE models. Installation involves gasketing all door openings for a complete seal, and the latch rods can be easily removed by taking out the pins for maintenance. The AL36DR supports both clockwise (CW) and counterclockwise (CCW) locking orientations, offering installation flexibility. nVent, a trusted leader in electrical and thermal management, ensures this latch kit meets rigorous industrial demands.

How to Install the AL36DR Padlocking Handle Kit

Instructions for installing a single-point or three-point padlocking handle kit on an enclosure door.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Drill, Measuring tape, Screwdriver, Pliers, Wire cutters

Supplies needed:

Padlocking handle kit components (latch rods, handle, gasket, screws, nuts, washers, spacers, etc.), Retaining rings, Roller pins

  1. Prepare the enclosure door

    WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not energize any circuits before all internal and external electrical and mechanical clearances are checked to assure that all assembled equipment functions safely and properly. Locate and drill holes in the enclosure door according to the dimensions provided in the documentation. For three-point kits, drill from the outside edges. Do not drill holes for the rod guides.

  2. Assemble handle components and select rotation stop

    Select the appropriate latch rod stop for the desired handle rotation (clockwise or counter-clockwise). Assemble the handle parts and the selected latch rod stop as shown in the diagrams.

  3. Install the handle gasket and latch rods

    Install the handle gasket on the outside of the door to ensure proper sealing. If the latch rods are too long for your enclosure, select the proper hole and cut the latch rods approximately 3/8 inch from the center of the desired hole. Be certain of the hole selection before cutting.

  4. Install roller pins and adjust latch position

    Place the roller pin in the designated hole and secure it with the retaining ring. If gasket compression is too great, move the roller one hole at a time until proper gasket compression is achieved. Position the spacers for the correct location of the latch. Use the provided washers to adjust the position of the latch in or out as required.

  5. Final Assembly

    Complete the assembly of the handle kit by securing all components with the provided screws, nuts, and locknuts as indicated in the diagrams.
