Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartRack Door Handles with Combination Lock – 2-Pack for Front and Rear Doors

Enhance cabinet security in data centers, server rooms, and telecom facilities with the Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartRack door handles featuring a configurable combination lock and a bypass key. This 2-pack is purpose-built for SmartRack enclosures, covering both front and rear doors so you can enforce uniform access control across your entire enclosure footprint. Designed for ease of use and long-term reliability, these replacement door handles simplify security management while giving you the flexibility to adapt to changing access requirements without sacrificing control.

• Robust, configurable security – Each door handle is equipped with a durable combination lock that can be set to a unique code for authorized personnel. The robust design is engineered to resist tampering and endure the daily wear of busy data centers, making it a smart upgrade for improving physical security around critical equipment.
• Bypass key for rapid admin access – In addition to the combination mechanism, a bypass key is included to grant immediate management access when needed. This feature streamlines maintenance workflows and simplifies emergency entry while helping you maintain a high level of control over who has access.
• Front and rear door compatibility – The 2-pack is specifically intended for SmartRack enclosures, providing two-piece replacement locks that work seamlessly with both front and rear doors. This ensures consistent security across all entry points without the need for multiple branded parts.
• Easy replacement and rekeying – The two-piece design simplifies replacement and future rekeying. When personnel changes occur or access policies are updated, you can swap or adjust the combination quickly without disassembling the entire enclosure, reducing downtime and service disruption.
• Designed for durability in demanding environments – Built to withstand the rigors of data centers and industrial spaces, these handles are constructed to endure frequent use, resist corrosion, and maintain reliable operation over time, even in tight cabinet spaces where clearance is limited.

How to install Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartRack Door Handles with Combination Lock

• Preparation – Power down or place the enclosure in a safe maintenance state as required by your security policy. Gather standard tools used for enclosure hardware installation (screwdrivers, screws compatible with your enclosure, and an appropriate torque reference if provided by your maintenance guidelines).
• Remove old hardware (if upgrading) – If you’re replacing existing front or rear door handles, carefully remove the old handles and any mounting hardware. Retain any screws if they are compatible with the new replacement parts, or replace with the screws supplied by the manufacturer.
• Align the new handles – Position the new handle assemblies over the mounting holes on the corresponding doors (front or rear). Ensure that the lock faces are oriented correctly so the combination dial or keypad is accessible from the outside and the bypass key access point is unobstructed.
• Secure the assemblies – Use the appropriate screws to fasten the door handles securely to the enclosure. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can strip threads or distort the door. Confirm that the handle moves smoothly and that the lock cylinder sits flush with the door surface.
• Set the initial combination – Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to configure the first lock combination. Choose a code that adheres to your organization’s security policy (e.g., a code that is not easily guessable and is periodically rotated). Record the combination in a secure, access-controlled system and provide access only to authorized personnel.
• Test the locking mechanism – Engage and disengage the combination lock several times to verify smooth operation. Confirm that the bypass key operates correctly and unlocks the door without forcing the mechanism. If there are any discrepancies, recheck alignment and mounting hardware.
• Document and secure – Document the new lock configuration in your security or asset-management records. Store the bypass key in a secure, trackable location with restricted access. Establish procedures for key retrieval, loss reporting, and rekeying as part of your ongoing security policy.
• Maintenance checks – Periodically inspect the door handles for signs of wear, looseness, or corrosion. Re-torque mounting screws as needed and re-verify lock functionality and combination integrity on a scheduled basis.
