Door lock Rittal VX 8618.460 — grey, pack of 10

Rittal VX 8618.460 is a grey door lock designed for VX-series enclosures and panels. Supplied as a pack of 10, this lock is intended to secure enclosure doors and control cabinet panels in industrial and electrical environments. The component is manufactured to fit VX door assemblies and provides a straightforward replacement or upgrade option for existing cabinet locks, helping to maintain controlled access to electrical and automation equipment.

Advantages

The lock is tailored for compatibility with VX-series enclosures, ensuring correct fit and reliable operation when replacing worn or damaged locking hardware. Packaged in a set of ten, it is convenient for projects requiring multiple locks or for maintenance crews stocking spare parts. The grey finish provides a neutral, industrial appearance that integrates with standard cabinet designs, while the mechanical construction delivers consistent performance in typical indoor industrial settings.

Suitable for

• Securing doors of VX-series enclosures and control cabinets
• Replacement of worn or damaged enclosure locks
• Equipment rooms, switchgear cabinets and automation cabinets
• Maintenance stock for service teams and electrical contractors

When it may not be suitable

This lock is intended for VX-series Rittal doors; it may not fit non-VX or custom enclosure designs. It is supplied as a pack of ten and therefore may not be cost-effective for single-lock needs. The product is designed primarily for indoor industrial and electrical environments and may not offer corrosion resistance or specialized sealing required for harsh outdoor or marine applications.

Key specifications

• Color: grey
• Compatibility: fits VX-series door assemblies
• Packaging: pack of 10 identical locks
• Application: enclosure and control cabinet door locking
• Mounting: designed for standard VX lock mounting points

How to use

Remove the existing lock from the VX door assembly by unscrewing or releasing the retaining fasteners, then position the Rittal VX lock into the designated mounting hole so that the actuator and locking mechanism align with the door frame and strike. Secure the lock with the original or supplied fasteners and test the latch operation and key or actuator function to ensure smooth engagement. Install all locks in the same manner across multiple doors to maintain consistent access control.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that the lock dimensions and mounting style match your VX-series door assembly
• Determine whether a pack of ten matches your project or spare parts needs
• Verify compatibility with your cabinet keys or locking system if keyed integration is required
• Assess the installation environment for any additional sealing or corrosion protection needs

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, replace locks in matched sets on multi-door installations and perform periodic maintenance checks. Use genuine VX-compatible mounting hardware and avoid modifying the lock body to preserve fit and function.
