DIRAK Introduces the New 6‑1390 Lockable Paddle Latch

DIRAK has introduced the 6‑1390 Lockable Paddle Latch, a heavy‑duty access solution engineered for applications where reliability, safety, and ease of use are essential. Designed for both indoor and outdoor environments, this latch combines a modern flush‑mount profile with the rugged performance required in today’s industrial enclosures.

⚙️Engineered for Safety and Comfort⚙️

DIRAK’s blog highlights the latch as the “perfect combination of safety and comfort,” and the product design backs that up:

Maximum Security with Integrated Lock Cylinder

The handle can only be operated when unlocked, preventing accidental or unauthorized access. This is critical for electrical enclosures, HVAC systems, rail applications, and other safety‑sensitive environments.

Push‑to‑Close Function — Even When Locked

Operators can simply push the door closed without unlocking the latch. This reduces effort, speeds up workflows, and ensures consistent closure in the field.

Vibration‑Proof Construction

The 6‑1390 is engineered to maintain long‑term operability under vibration and movement — a requirement for rail vehicles, machinery, and mobile equipment.

Flush, Modern Aesthetic

The low‑profile design minimizes snag points and gives enclosures a clean, professional appearance.
