Product Spotlight – Selectlok Paddle Handle with Internal Emergency Release

Secure, Flush Access for Mobile and Industrial Applications

Used in service bodies, generator unit enclosures, floats & trailers, toolboxes, and RV compartments, easy to access enclosure hardware must satisfy multiple demands:

  • Flush-mounted design for a clean look and snag-free operation in tight spaces.

  • Reliable latching with IP66 ingress rating to protect against moisture and dust in outdoor or harsh environments.

  • Emergency egress from inside the compartment, even if locked externally, via an internal release latch.

  • Robust construction to withstand vibration, weather, and frequent use.

Without the right handle, you face the prospect of failure, corrosion, blocked emergency exit, or interference with vehicle or cabinet ergonomics.

Why the Selectlok Paddle Handle Stands Out

The Selectlok Paddle Handle with Internal Emergency Release combines flush-mount aesthetics, IP66 ingress protection, two-stage rotary slam latch, and a built-in internal emergency release tab — all designed for trade-grade reliability.

Key Features and Benefits:

  • Flush-Mounted Paddle Design: Sits neatly within the panel to reduce protrusion and snag risk — ideal for canopies, trailers, and tight-fit compartments.

  • IP66 Rated: Dust-tight and resistant to torrential rainfall or powerful water jets for transport, outdoor, and harsh-environment applications.

  • Two-Stage Rotary “Burst-Style” Slam Latch: Primary click secures the door; secondary click compresses the gasket for superior sealing.

  • Internal Emergency Release Tab (Red): Ensures safe exit from inside the compartment if locked from the outside.

  • High-Quality Materials: Handle/dish: PA6 + 30% glass-fibre (black); Zinc-alloy inserts/bracket: trivalent chromate plated; Striker: Q235 zinc plated.

  • Rear-Fixing Mounting Bracket: Mounts from inside, reducing tampering and keeping external aesthetics clean.

  • Keyed Options: CH751 and CH805 allow keyed alike or separate access control for fleets or equipment.
