Why Choose the Rittal VX8618.220 Comfort Handle for Lock Inserts?
The Rittal VX8618.220 is a high-quality stainless steel Comfort handle for Rittal VX and VX IT enclosure systems, designed to provide secure and convenient enclosure access while maximising usable door space.

The handle is prepared for type G lock inserts as well as compatible lock and push-button inserts with a maximum length of 26.5 mm, allowing the enclosure locking arrangement to be configured for specific access-control requirements.
