Locks - Enclosure

Enclosure locks are security devices that are used to protect utility cupboards, meter boxes and service panels. They allow controlled access to important infrastructure while also stopping unauthorised entry.

Our range of triangle plunger locks work well with sliding doors on gas and electricity meter cupboards. These have an 8 mm triangular key way that only works with matching triangular keys. You simply push to lock them which makes them easy to use yet secure. Insert triangles and squares can be placed in different enclosure housings as interchangeable lock cores. This helps building managers use the same access system across various cabinets and panels throughout a business or property.

Utility cabinet locks are made for hinged doors on service cupboards and electrical panels. They are usually stronger than plunger types and come with different keying options. Multi-Point locking systems provide better security by locking at several points at once. These are often used for larger enclosures or those with sensitive equipment inside. If you need any other kinds of locks or lock cylinders, we have a wide range available and we offer next day dispatch if the items you need are in stock.

Enclosure locks have many advantages. They limit access to authorised staff, have standardised keying systems for easier maintenance, are hard wearing and tough to resist tampering attempts, provide affordable security, allow quick access during emergencies and help to meet safety regulations for utility infrastructure. Major brands that make our enclosure locks include Lowe & Fletcher and EMKA. These companies make a range of locking products for different security needs in building management.

Good enclosure security needs to deliver the right balance between easy access for maintenance workers and protection against unauthorised entry, and enclosure locking systems are an important part of keeping buildings and infrastructure secure.
