DSIT Server Cabinet Side Panel Lock Type 01

Data center technicians often need to secure individual side panels of server racks to prevent unauthorized access to cabling and equipment. The DSIT Server Cabinet Side Panel Lock Type 01 replaces the standard quarter-turn latch on DSIT server rack side panels, adding a keyed cam lock mechanism. This extra lock allows you to control access to the interior of the rack without locking the entire cabinet, making it ideal for shared colocation spaces or high-security environments.

With two keys included, you can provide access to authorized personnel only. The lock is specifically designed for DSIT server racks, ensuring a perfect fit and reliable operation.

Ideal use cases

• Securing side panels in colocation data centers where multiple tenants share rack space

Good to know

The lock is intended for basic security and is not a high-security device. It is designed to deter casual access and provide a visible deterrent. The cam lock rotates 90 degrees to engage or disengage the side panel. The key can only be removed when the lock is in the locked position, preventing accidental unlocking. For optimal performance, ensure the side panel is properly aligned before locking.
