About Defeater Handles
Sierra Pacific Engineering and Products (SPEP) provides high-quality access hardware to clients in a wide range of industries, including electrical enclosures, switchgear, watercraft, medical, and clean room verticals. For projects that require optimal safety and security, the SPEP team recommends exploring our selection of defeater handles.
The unique design of our defeater handles promotes added safety by requiring two-handed operation to access enclosures or boxes. They also prevent accidental latch actuation to ensure that the contents of an enclosure or box remain secure.
SPEP defeater handles closely resemble traditional L-handle designs. However, they feature a special spring-loaded mechanism located behind the primary handle. To access the enclosure, users must defeat the mechanism by depressing it with their other hand.
Defeater Handle Material and Finish Options
As part of our commitment to serving a wide range of industrial clients, Sierra Pacific Engineering and Products offers defeater handles in a variety of material and finish options.
Our defeater handle kits are available in four different materials, including:
Steel
304 stainless steel
316 stainless steel
Die cast zinc
Depending on the material you select, you may also have the opportunity to customize the finish with options such as:
Zinc-plated
Passivated
Powder-coated, matte black
Sierra Pacific Engineering and Products also offers both locking and non-locking variations of our defeater handles. Our key lock variants provide optimal security and are often used to restrict access to electrical boxes, junction boxes, and other potentially dangerous enclosures.
