Rittal SZ 2307.000 Silver — enclosure locking insert, zinc die-cast, length 27 mm

Rittal SZ 2307.000 Silver is a zinc die-cast enclosure locking insert with a 27 mm length and a silver finish. Designed as a replacement or spare part for cabinet and enclosure locks, this insert provides the mechanical locking element needed to secure doors and access panels in electrical, electronic and IT cabinets. The component is intended for integration into compatible locking housings and is suitable for field replacement when original inserts are worn or damaged.

Advantages

The zinc die-cast construction delivers dimensional stability and resistance to mechanical wear for repeated locking cycles. The 27 mm length matches common mounting depths, ensuring compatibility with many standard enclosure lock housings. The silver finish provides a uniform appearance with metal cabinet hardware and offers basic corrosion resistance in typical indoor environments.

Suitable for

• Replacement of worn or damaged locking inserts in electrical and IT cabinets
• Maintenance and service operations on enclosures where the locking mechanism must be renewed
• Retrofit projects requiring matching mechanical inserts for existing lock housings

When it may not be suitable

This locking insert is a mechanical spare part and does not include keys, cylinders, or complete lock assemblies. It may not be suitable where a complete lock replacement, a different insert length, or specialised corrosion-resistant materials (for aggressive outdoor environments) are required. For secure lock systems needing specific certification or high corrosion resistance, verify material and compatibility before purchase.

Key specifications

• Material: zinc die-cast
• Finish: silver
• Length: 27 mm
• Application: enclosure/cabinet locking insert
• Intended use environment: indoor electrical and IT cabinets

How to use

To install, remove the existing insert from the lock housing according to the enclosure manufacturer's instructions and slide or press the replacement insert into the housing until it seats securely. Ensure the insert engages correctly with the locking mechanism and test operation by actuating the lock with the matching key or cam. If required, lubricate moving parts with a suitable contact-safe lubricant and confirm clearances and alignment before returning the cabinet to service.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required insert length and dimensions match the 27 mm specification
• Confirm material and finish are appropriate for the installation environment
• Check compatibility with the existing lock housing and cam/key system

Usage recommendations

Keep spare inserts in service inventory for routine maintenance. When replacing an insert, inspect the lock housing and cam for wear; replace worn components together to maintain secure and reliable operation.
