Overview

The nVent AL3CR is a field-installable 3-point latch kit designed for Type 12 enclosures with heights of 36, 42, or 48 inches. This non-locking latch kit features a clockwise-opening handle, providing secure closure and optimal gasket compression to meet NEMA Type 12 requirements for protection against dust, dirt, and non-corrosive liquids. Constructed from durable chrome-plated steel, the AL3CR offers excellent corrosion resistance for industrial applications. Its three-point latching mechanism distributes pressure evenly across the door, enhancing seal integrity and reducing wear. The latch rods are adjustable, allowing precise gasket compression tuning by relocating pins in the rod guides, which simplifies maintenance and ensures a consistent seal over time. Integrated rollers on the latch rod ends facilitate smoother door operation and minimize friction. Installation requires only a quarter-turn (90 degrees) to open or close, and the kit is compatible with most standard one-door Type 12 enclosures. Note: This product is not suitable for Hoffman disconnect, CONCEPT, or PROLINE enclosures. SKU: AL3CR.
