HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – October 31, 2023 – Southco Asia Ltd., a subsidiary of Southco Inc., a leading global provider of engineered access solutions such as locks, latches, captive fasteners, solutions electronic access and hinge/positioning technologies, has expanded its range of electronic rotary latches with a new version that makes it easier to upgrade equipment security. Southco’s new R4-05 electronic rotary latch is designed for use with a multi-point mechanical locking system or other combination of commonly used swivel handle and flat, round or hex shank solutions to drive multiple locking points to secure large cabinet doors.
With the deployment of 5G technology, telecom operators are increasing the value and quantity of their equipment, which is often added to existing network enclosures located in remote outdoor areas. The R4-05 electronic rotary latch can be easily added to existing field systems without having to disassemble the mechanical locking system, allowing operators to retrofit existing field equipment and improve security with minimal effort . Constructed from corrosion resistant stainless steel, the R4-05 electronic rotary latch is sealed to IP67 and suitable for outdoor use.
The R4-05 electronic rotary latch combines a mechanical rotary latch with an electronic actuator for enhanced security and remote access control. It easily integrates with an existing multi-point mechanical locking system by installing the R4-05 latch on the door, next to the rod. When the strike plate is engaged with the lock, the rods cannot move, preventing operators from operating the latch from outside the enclosure. To access the door, a signal is sent to the R4-05 electronic rotary latch from an existing access control system or a standalone access controller, such as a Bluetooth or RFID card reader. It then releases the strike, but remains in a closed but unlocked position until the latch is operated normally from outside the enclosure. If the latch is not opened from outside the door, it returns to the locked state, providing an additional layer of security.
When combined with the R4-05 electronic rotary latch, Southco multi-point locking systems provide a complete solution for large door security applications. A simple turn of the handle of the multi-point locking system can secure multiple locking points along large doors. A wide range of security styles and locking handles, as well as optional sealing features, make them suitable for most large door applications. When used as a stand-alone latch, the R4-05 electronic rotary latch provides a concealed pressure access control solution for a wide variety of industrial applications where space is limited and remote access is required.
Todd Schwanger, commercial product manager, adds, “The R4-05 electronic rotary latch makes it easy to upgrade the security of telecommunications enclosures and other valuable equipment. With instant assembly designed to fit most cabinet types and rod styles, the R4-05 Electronic Latch Rotary Latch is ideal for quick field upgrades. »
