Product Specifications
4202-124 Pull Ring
4202-124 pull ring, iron/chrome-plated, 195g, 35kg load capacity, 80-degree opening angle, 124mm centers
The 4202-124 is a pull ring from NRH’s 4202 series. Key specifications:
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Model | 4202-124 |
| Type | Pull ring (thin style) |
| Material | Iron / Chrome-plated |
| Weight | 195g |
| Load Capacity | 35kg |
| Opening Angle | 80 degrees |
| Mounting Hole Centers | 124mm |
| Overall Dimensions | 124 x 51 x 44mm |
Why this pull ring was selected: The 4202-124 pull ring provides a low-profile carrying solution for eco-enforcement and personal protection cases. The 80-degree opening angle accommodates gloved operation in field conditions, while the 35kg load capacity per ring comfortably supports the weight of the case and its contents. The chrome-plated iron construction provides corrosion resistance for outdoor deployment. Two rings mounted on opposite sides allow for balanced two-person carry or single-person lifting from either side.
6405-76K Lockable Latch
6405-76K lockable latch, iron/chrome-plated, 48g, 196N tensile, key lock cylinder
The 6405-76K is a lockable latch from NRH’s 6405 series. Key specifications:
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Model | 6405-76K |
| Type | Lockable latch (with key cylinder) |
| Material | Iron / Chrome-plated |
| Weight | 48g |
| Tensile Strength | 196N |
| Lock Function | Key lock cylinder (K variant) |
| Overall Dimensions | 71.5 x 44.5 x 29mm |
| Mounting Hole Diameter | 5 x 3.5mm |
Why this latch was selected: The 6405-76K provides secure closure with an integrated key lock cylinder, essential for eco-enforcement and personal protection cases where equipment security is critical. The 196N tensile strength ensures the lid remains securely closed under transport vibration and handling. The chrome-plated iron construction provides corrosion resistance for field deployment. Two latches distributed on the lid perimeter ensure even sealing pressure. The “K” designation indicates the key lock cylinder, providing chain-of-custody security for evidence and sensitive equipment.
7201-40 Corner Protector
7201-40 corner protector, iron/chrome-plated, 26g
The 7201-40 is a corner protector from NRH’s 7201 series. Key specifications:
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Model | 7201-40 |
| Type | Corner protector |
| Material | Iron / Chrome-plated |
| Weight | 26g |
| Mounting Hole Diameter | 3 x 4.2mm |
| Function | Impact protection at case corners |
Why corner protectors are required: Corners are the first points of impact when a case is dropped or struck. The 7201-40 corner protectors absorb and distribute impact energy, preserving case structural integrity. Eight units installed on all case corners provide comprehensive protection for field-deployable cases subjected to rough handling in eco-enforcement and personal protection operations.
7614-35-FE-CR Edge Protector
7614-35-FE-CR edge protector, iron/chrome-plated, 7g
The 7614-35-FE-CR is an edge protector from NRH’s 7614 series. Key specifications:
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Model | 7614-35-FE-CR |
| Type | Edge protector |
| Material | Iron / Chrome-plated |
| Weight | 7g |
| Length | 18.5mm |
| Mounting Hole Diameter | 2 x 4.1mm |
| Function | Edge reinforcement and impact protection |
Why edge protectors are required: Case edges are vulnerable to impact and abrasion during transport and field deployment. The 7614-35-FE-CR edge protectors reinforce case edges, preventing damage that could compromise seal integrity or case structure. At just 7g per unit, these protectors add minimal weight while providing essential edge protection. Twenty units provide comprehensive edge coverage for the aluminum and ABS case construction.

Installation Guide
Tools Required
- Drill with appropriate bits for pilot holes
- Rivet gun (4mm or 4.8mm blind rivets)
- Marker or scribe
- Deburring tool
- Torque wrench (if using screw mounting)
Step-by-Step Installation
- Position the pull rings. Mount the two 4202-124 pull rings symmetrically on opposite sides of the case. Position rings approximately at the center of each side panel for balanced load distribution.
- Position the corner protectors. Install the 7201-40 corner protectors on all eight case corners. The protectors should wrap the three faces of each corner edge.
- Position the edge protectors. Install the 7614-35-FE-CR edge protectors along case edges at vulnerable points. Twenty units provide comprehensive edge coverage for the aluminum and ABS case construction.
- Position the latches. Mount the two 6405-76K lockable latches on the front panel, aligned for secure lid closure.
- Mark pilot hole locations. Use the mounting flanges as templates. Mark all mounting hole positions on both the case body and lid.
- Drill pilot holes. Drill pilot holes according to the product’s hole spacing specifications. For aluminum and ABS cases, use slow drill speed to prevent material damage.
- Deburr and clean. Remove burrs from all drilled holes. Clean the mounting surfaces to ensure flanges sit flush against the case surface.
- Secure the hardware. Insert blind rivets through each flange hole. Set rivets firmly. The flange must sit completely flat against the case surface.
- Verify operation. Close the lid and engage each latch. The 6405-76K latch should lock securely with the key cylinder. Verify pull rings deploy and retract smoothly.
- Test under vibration. Simulate transport vibration by gently shaking the case. Confirm all latches remain locked and hardware remains secure.
Mounting Method Options
| Method | Best For | Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| Rivet Fixing | Production assembly, aluminum cases | Fastest, tamper-resistant, consistent clamp force |
| Screw Fixing | Field replacement, adjustable installations | Use thread-locking compound for vibration-prone environments |
| Spot Welding | Metal cases | Use unfinished products to avoid coating damage |
What Happens If You Choose Wrong?
- Using non-locking latches on eco-enforcement cases: Equipment and evidence stored in cases without locking hardware is vulnerable to tampering. The 6405-76K provides keyed security essential for chain-of-custody requirements.
- Specifying insufficient corner protection: Cases dropped without corner protectors transfer impact energy directly to the case frame. Corner protectors (7201-40) absorb impact and preserve structural integrity.
- Using pull rings without adequate load capacity: A 20kg-rated ring on a 25kg case will fail prematurely. The 4202-124 provides 35kg capacity, ensuring adequate safety margin.
- Choosing unprotected edges on ABS cases: ABS is susceptible to edge damage from impacts. Edge protectors (7614-35-FE-CR) reinforce vulnerable edges and extend case service life.
- Using non-chrome-plated hardware in field environments: Uncoated iron corrodes rapidly in outdoor conditions. Chrome plating provides essential corrosion resistance for eco-enforcement and personal protection applications.
Application Summary
The eco-enforcement and personal protection equipment case demonstrates how properly specified hardware, pull rings with 35kg capacity, lockable latches with 196N tensile strength, corner protectors, and edge protectors, creates a durable, secure enclosure for field operations.
Key selection factors for this application included:
- Pull ring design: 4202-124 provides 35kg load capacity with 80-degree opening angle for gloved operation
