AL2BCCW

Overview

The AL2BCCW is a three-point key locking counter-clockwise handle latch kit manufactured by Hoffman Enclosures, Inc. Designed for field installation on standard one-door NEMA Type 12 enclosures, this component features a zinc-plated steel construction to ensure durability and corrosion resistance. It is specifically engineered to fit enclosure widths ranging from 16 to 30 inches. The kit provides secure access control through its keyed operation mechanism, allowing authorized personnel to open the enclosure door with a specific key. This product is intended for use in industrial environments where protection against dust, dripping non-corrosive liquids, and oil/splash is required.

Feature Summary

• Three-point latching mechanism ensures secure closure and improved seal integrity for NEMA Type 12 enclosures
• Keyed handle design provides controlled access authorization for equipment protection
• Counter-clockwise operation direction for standardized user interaction
• Zinc-plated steel construction offers robust mechanical strength and environmental resistance

Applications

• Field installation on standard one-door NEMA Type 12 electrical enclosures
• Securing industrial control panels requiring dust and liquid drip protection
• Access management for machinery housing in manufacturing environments

Procurement Notes

Verify that the target enclosure is a standard one-door Type 12 model before procurement. Confirm that the enclosure width falls within the compatible range of 16 to 30 inches. Ensure the application does not involve Hoffman disconnect, Concept, or ProLine series enclosures, as these kits are incompatible with those specific product lines. Check for necessary mounting hardware inclusion if not explicitly stated in the order specifications.

Selection Notes

Select the AL2BCCW when a secure, keyed locking solution is required for standard NEMA 12 enclosures. Consider the counter-clockwise operation requirement and the three-point engagement for enhanced security. Evaluate the enclosure dimensions to ensure they match the specified size range. Avoid this part for disconnect switches or specialized line enclosures due to physical incompatibility. Verify material compatibility with the existing enclosure finish.

Part Context

This latch kit belongs to the Hoffman Enclosures accessory portfolio, designed to upgrade or replace standard latches on their NEMA Type 12 product line. It serves as a critical component for maintaining the ingress protection rating of the enclosure while adding security features. The product is part of a broader system of enclosure accessories aimed at facilitating field modifications and ensuring long-term reliability in harsh industrial conditions.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility carefully as this kit is explicitly incompatible with Hoffman disconnect, Concept, and ProLine enclosures.
