The ML875-1 connecting rod lock is a lightweight multi-point latch for industrial enclosure doors: a PA (nylon) housing over a zinc alloy rod latch system with a steel cam. 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 a K15-1 keyed cylinder is available as an option for access control. 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.
