Product Spotlight: Eselon+® Series “Switch Up” Modular Swing Handle

Meet the Handle That Adapts to Your Build

As enclosure design shifts towards modularity and symmetrical door frame systems, smarter hardware solutions are essential.

Whether you’re designing service bodies, switchboards, trailers, or mobile enclosures, one thing is clear: traditional swing handles often fall short. Left‑hand or right‑hand doors? Different cut‑outs? Outdoor exposure? Locking requirements? Each variation adds complexity, inventory, and installation headaches.

The Eselon+® Series “Switch Up” Modular Swing Handle is engineered to solve these challenges. It’s a single handle platform that adapts to multiple cut‑outs, door orientations, and locking configurations, reducing SKUs, speeding up installations, and future-proofing your build.

 

Why Trade Professionals Choose Eselon+®

The Eselon+® Switch Up Modular Swing Handle is built around a simple idea: one handle, multiple solutions, designed as a true modular handle platform: 

  • One Handle, Many Configurations – Modular inserts allow you to swap between pad‑lockable, keyed barrel, half‑euro cylinder, or non‑locking options without replacing the handle body.

  • Short Cam‑Shaft Design – Avoid trimming long spindle shafts. Fits standard S‑Cutouts and aligns with FSDT™ F‑Cutouts for symmetrical doors. 

  • Cut‑Out Flexibility – Compatible out-of-the-box with S‑Cutout doors and adaptable to F‑Cutout doors via optional adapter plates. No need for multiple handle variants.

  • Durable and Weather‑Resistant – Polyamide version rated IP42 for indoor use; zinc die-cast version rated IP66 for outdoor or transport applications. Both options provide robust performance under demanding conditions.

  • Low-Profile, Professional Design – Smooth aesthetics, vandal resistance, and positive 90° rotation click for reliable engagement.

  • Supports Symmetrical Doors – F‑Cutout adapter ensures the same handle works for left or right-hand doors, simplifying stock and build processes.

  • Service-Friendly Modularity – Damaged or outdated inserts can be replaced independently of the handle body, reducing waste and downtime.

The Short-Shaft Breakthrough 

At the heart of all Eselon+® Switch Up Modular Swing Handles is our proprietary short cam-shaft design — an innovative solution to a common real-world problem. 

Traditional swing handles use long 8mm square spindle shafts (often 65 mm or longer) that often need trimming during installation. The Eselon+® Switch Up Modular Swing Handle eliminates this issue with a compact short cam-shaft design that: 

  • Fits directly into industry-standard S Cutout profiles. 
  • Enables faster, cleaner installation without modifications. 
  • Maintains a low-profile, vandal-resistant aesthetic.
