Handle and catch with a lock KL-888 – how to choose the right one

The KL-888 handle has a built-in lock, a housing and grip in chrome-plated ZnAl5 alloy and a catch in stainless steel. That last detail sets it apart from the other handles in the group.

The catch works every time the door is closed, and it is the subject of most service calls in this category. A steel version moves the point of wear onto a material more durable than the plastic used in cheaper models.

Stainless steel on a visible part has one more significance in professional kitchens, where the materials in contact with the working area are monitored. The data sheet does not, however, assign it a specific grade.

How to match the handle to the door thickness and settle the key system – we explained it in the selection guide for this category.

Where it works

  • Appliances opened very frequently over the course of a day
  • Professional kitchens with a strict hygiene regime
  • Doors on which the catch is the most common cause of faults
  • Installations locked with a key in premises open around the clock

Ask a question
Why was the catch in particular made of steel?

Because it is the component that works mechanically every time the door is closed. The data sheet does not give a number of cycles, but the choice of material itself shows where the manufacturer saw the greatest load.

Does a steel catch need different handling from a polyamide one?

The documentation introduces no separate recommendations here. The difference concerns the material, not the way the handle is used.
