Rod Control Locks for Multi-Point Cabinet Door Locking
Reaking rod control locks (rod locks) drive connecting rods up and down a door edge, latching it at several points instead of one. This makes them the standard choice for tall electrical cabinets, telecom enclosures and energy storage cabinets where a single-point latch would let the door distort.
The ML series covers plain rod control locks, push-button versions, lift-up handles, padlockable and connecting-rod types, with bright chrome or black finishes and IP65 sealing options.
FAQ
Q: What is a rod control lock used for?
A: It drives connecting rods to latch a tall cabinet or enclosure door at several points, keeping the door firmly closed along its whole edge.
Q: Why use multi-point locking instead of a single latch?
A: Multi-point latching spreads the sealing force along the door edge, so tall or wide doors seal evenly and resist distortion.
Q: Are the connecting rods included?
A: The lock is supplied with the rod box assembly; rod lengths are matched to your door height — tell us your door size when ordering.
Q: What IP ratings are available?
A: Most models are IP54, with IP65 versions for outdoor and weather-exposed cabinets.
Q: Do you offer OEM or custom rod control locks?
A: Yes — Reaking welcomes OEM and custom orders, including custom keying, rod lengths and finishes.
