Rittal SZ 2534.500 Profile Half-Cylinder Lock Insert, Die-Cast Zinc, Natural Matt, for AE/IW Enclosures

In control cabinets and compact enclosures, securing access while maintaining a clean, professional appearance is essential. The Rittal SZ 2534.500 profile half-cylinder lock insert solves this by providing a robust, die-cast zinc housing that accepts a standard profile half-cylinder (sold separately). It is engineered for tool-free installation into the existing cam (Vorreiber) of Rittal AE and IW series enclosures, as well as compatible compact and small enclosures. The natural, matt finish blends seamlessly with industrial equipment, offering a durable and tamper-resistant locking solution.

Why choose it

This lock insert is the genuine Rittal replacement or upgrade part, ensuring perfect fit and function with your existing enclosure. Its die-cast zinc construction offers high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, while the natural matt finish resists fingerprints and wear. The tool-free installation saves time during assembly or retrofitting, and the compatibility with standard profile half-cylinders allows you to use your preferred locking cylinder for keyed-alike or master-key systems.

Ideal use cases

• Securing control cabinets in industrial automation environments
• Retrofitting existing Rittal AE or IW enclosures with a profile half-cylinder lock
• Replacing worn or damaged lock inserts in compact enclosures
• Standardizing locking systems across multiple enclosures using a common profile half-cylinder

Good to know

The lock insert is supplied as a single piece and does not include the profile half-cylinder or keys. It is designed for use with standard profile half-cylinders, such as those with a 30/10 mm dimension. The natural die-cast zinc colour is a silver-grey tone that matches most industrial enclosures. For installation, simply insert the lock into the cam and secure it without the need for special tools.
