The model
This custom-fit door locking system can be used for many models at scale of 1/14.5 to 1/16. The COMVEC door locking system is similar to regarding the original all functioning. Each rod can be turned separately after unlocking the safety latch of the rotary lever. By rotating the lever by 90°, the rod mounted hook slides off the container-mounted hook holders and allows opening of the door.
In particular, the intricately crafted hooks and bearing blocks of the pivot rod made from nickel silver increases the value of each container or trailer model optically. In order to perfect the detailing, all casted parts are mounted with M0,6 mounting hexagon bolts with spanner width 1mm. These screws and nuts can be optionally added to your model. The length of the M0,6 screws can be selected from 3mm to 6mm. Please note that about 1.5mm of the screw length is needed for the nut and the castings. With a 6mm bolt the door / frame therefore must not be thicker than 4.5mm.
