Feature Summary

• Includes a chrome-plated steel cylinder lock for secure enclosure access

Procurement Notes

Verify that the target enclosure utilizes the specific L50 handle interface to ensure mechanical compatibility. Confirm that the required rotation direction matches the clockwise specification of this kit. Check that the enclosure rating aligns with Type 3R or Type 12 standards. Ensure the chrome-plated finish meets environmental requirements for the installation site.

Selection Notes

Select this kit when replacing failed locks on compatible POWERGLIDE handles without changing the entire assembly. Choose the clockwise variant if the operational requirement dictates right-hand turn engagement. Consider the chrome-plated steel construction for durability in standard industrial environments where frequent washdown is not the primary concern.
