These adaptations are calling for large numbers of components for devices previously only seen in quite small quantities. Examples include
foot operated sanitisers, closure mechanisms on ventilators and other hospital/laboratory equipment.

EMKA is happy to offer suitable hardware from stock and see
much of the requirement focused on stainless steel or high quality, easy clean chrome finished locks and handles. Requirements vary considerably
from budget level protection of low value items in indoor situations, as with hand sanitisers where a simple IP40 item is suitable;
all the way up to needing IP65 sealing or higher, where valuable equipment must be protected from excessive ingress of dust and water.
