WIRECRAFTERS
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about WIRECRAFTERS from 3G Electric.
What types of locks are available for WireCrafters wire partitions?
WireCrafters offers several lock options for wire partitions, including hinged door cylinder locks (HDLKXKA, HDLKXKD), sliding door cylinder locks (SDLKXKA, SDLKXKD), and electro-magnetic locks (LKMAGRETROC). These are bolt-on designs, with keyed-alike or keyed-different cylinders. The cylinder locks are made of unfinished steel with a gold finish, while the electro-magnetic lock is powder-coated gray and includes mounting hardware. Turn knob latch sets (HDLKXKNBS, SDLKXKNBS) are also available for hinged and sliding doors, providing a non-locking latch option. These components are used to secure access doors in wire partition enclosures, machine guards, and storage cages.
What are the specifications of WireCrafters wire mesh hinged-door kits for pallet rack enclosures?
The WireCrafters wire mesh hinged-door kit (RDH1010) is designed for pallet rack enclosures. It includes two bi-parting doors and is constructed from 10 gauge steel with a powder-coated gray finish. The kit measures 120 in x 1 1/4 in x 120 in. This door kit is used to provide access to the interior of pallet rack enclosures while maintaining security and visibility. The doors are hinged and can be fitted with locks or latches as needed. The kit is part of a modular system that allows for assembly and expansion of enclosures in warehouses and industrial facilities.
Are WireCrafters locks keyed alike or keyed different?
WireCrafters locks are available in both keyed-alike and keyed-different configurations. The part numbers indicate the type: for example, HDLKXKA and SDLKXKA are keyed-alike cylinder locks, while HDLKXKD and SDLKXKD are keyed-different. Keyed-alike locks allow a single key to open multiple doors, which can simplify access management. Keyed-different locks require separate keys for each lock, providing more restricted access. Both types are bolt-on and designed for use with WireCrafters wire partitions. The choice depends on the level of access control required for the application.
What is the difference between the WireCrafters hinged door and sliding door lock sets?
WireCrafters offers lock sets specifically for hinged doors and sliding doors. Hinged door lock sets include the HDLKXKA (keyed-alike cylinder lock), HDLKXKD (keyed-different cylinder lock), and HDLKXKNBS (turn knob latch set with two turn knobs and a lock plate). Sliding door lock sets include SDLKXKA (keyed-alike cylinder lock), SDLKXKD (keyed-different cylinder lock), and SDLKXKNBS (turn knob latch set with two turn knobs and a lock plate). The primary difference is the mounting and latch mechanism to suit the door operation. All are bolt-on designs for WireCrafters wire partitions.
What materials and finishes are used in WireCrafters door locks and latches?
WireCrafters door locks and latches are constructed from steel. The cylinder locks and turn knob latch sets are unfinished steel with a gold finish. The electro-magnetic lock (LKMAGRETROC) is powder-coated gray. The turn knob latch sets include two turn knobs and a lock plate. The locks are designed for bolt-on installation and may include mounting hardware, as with the electro-magnetic lock. These finishes are standard for the WireCrafters line and are intended for industrial environments. The steel construction provides durability for access control applications in wire partitions, machine guards, and enclosures.
Can WireCrafters wire partition components be used for machine guarding?
Yes, WireCrafters wire mesh partitions and accessories are commonly used for machine guarding. The welded wire mesh panels provide visibility and ventilation while restricting access to moving machinery or hazardous areas. Door locks and latches, such as the HDLKXKA or SDLKXKA, can be installed on access doors to prevent unauthorized entry. The modular design allows for custom configurations to fit around equipment. The steel construction and powder-coated finish are suitable for industrial environments. These components are part of a system that can be expanded or modified as needed. 3G Electric supplies these parts for machine guarding applications.
