Hoffman Enclosure Accessories

Network cabinets and racks are designed to organize and protect IT equipment in an industrial environment. Rack enclosures or rack cabinets are designed for heavy, high wattage equipment that usually runs at hotter temperatures. The enclosures have vented front and rear doors that provides ample airflow. The removable side panels and front and rear doors are attached to adjustable mounting rails and lock for added security. These type of enclosures are a popular choice for server rooms and data centers. Wall-mount racks can be attached to the wall to save floor space or rolling casters can be added to create a movable floor-standing rack. These racks are usually smaller and can’t support as much weight as rack enclosures. Open frame racks do not have sides or doors and are generally used for applications that don’t need to control airflow or provide security.
Hoffman offers a variety of latches, handles and locks to help make cabinet applications as secure as possible, while still maintaining the cabinet’s Type 3R, 4 or 12 rating.
Hoffman Padlocking Handles easily turn to open and close a cabinet, while adding additional security. Combination Lock Handles fit cabinet doors and have a 3-digit combination lock with a master key override. The 3-digit combination locking handle eliminates the need to carry around a key and the combination can be easily changed.
Hoffman Keylocking Wing Knobs include 2 keys and a 333 key code. Keylocking Quarter-Turn Wing Knobs include 1 key and a 333 key code. Padlocking Wing Knobs are made of Type 316 stainless steel. When the padlock is in place, the wing know cannot be rotated.
