The ML861-2E plastic rod control lock combines a PA (nylon) housing with a zinc alloy rod latch system and steel cam, giving a lightweight and rust-proof lock body for indoor and semi-outdoor enclosures. A 90° turn of the handle drives the connecting rods through the rod box assembly to open or close the door.
The cam and rod box assembly are galvanized steel for long service life, and the built-in cylinder uses Key333. The lock is rated IP54 against dust and splashing water.
Typical applications include indoor distribution boxes, telecom enclosures, control panels and light machinery cabinets. Dimension drawings and the cut-out template are provided below.
