Swivel lever

The swivel lever is a classic locking mechanism for server and control cabinets . It is similar to an ordinary Quarter-Turn, but is equipped with an extended lever . So you can get a much larger torque when higher forces are required. This can be, for example, when the doors to be closed are pressed against seals.

In addition to a handle device used to open and close the cabinet, an additional locking mechanism can be installed. The locking itself takes place via various solutions: Simple key solutions are often used.

However, electromechanical swivel levers are also increasingly used. This ensures a convenient and reliable form of access monitoring to the server cabinet. In this case, the pivot lever is a pure hardware interface that can be integrated into existing safety systems. It can be used with biometric systems, RFID readers or higher-level security systems.
