Defeater Handles

Defeater handles are a great example of this, giving a high-quality solution for security, safety, and durability for a wide range of enclosures.

More About This Section

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.

Why SPEP?

Sierra Pacific offers a broad selection of defeater handles, many of which are compliant with the latest industry standards, including NEMA. Our compliant handles can help your organization meet relevant regulations and promote safety.

In addition to providing high-quality defeater handles, SPEP also offers an exceptional customer service experience. We have a broad catalog of industrial-grade access hardware as well as an in-house team of engineers capable of making custom solutions to meet the unique needs of your project.

Perhaps most importantly, Sierra Pacific Engineering and Products provides durable, precision-engineered components that are built to last. We design our products to withstand the rigors of daily use, maximizing their lifespan and decreasing your customers’ cost of ownership.
