EMKA’s 1000 series of ¼ turn insert locks has been a core locking system for electrical/electronic enclosures and cabinets in Europe for some 40 years, the design featuring a common housing section, that enables rapid installation via a single hole fixing, using a standard “EMKA 20mm” square cut-out. The 1000 series offers protection levels against dust and water of IP65 and IP54 for applications ranging across steel/GRP/plastic/multi-layer enclosures, cabinets, lockers, machine guards, access panels, covers, roadside cabinets, industrial desking, workstations and secure waste containers.
The 1000 ¼ turn series features a substantial range of different lock inserts including: triangle, square, double bit, and key type. Key lockable options include barrel locks, wing handles, T & L handles as well as a Key captive version. Tamper and vibration proof specifications are met by an unusual "safety" variant with a number of insert options. Special inserts may be provided throughout the range to suit custom requirements with standard housings in a variety of lengths to suit material thicknesses or door depths.
Many locks permit padlock operation and there are also a number for high-security applications or to suit specific key requirements, e.g. special automotive and railway applications where ASSA and KABA standards are specified. An exceptional selection of standard cams is a significant feature of this program – which combined with various housing lengths can offer standard configurations to suit applications up to 92mm long. Additionally special cams are possible as are custom designs to customer specification.
