Dan Walker, Sales Manager at Lorlin Electronics comments. ”We have discovered a growing market for waterproof switches and our new WRLM waterproof mains key switch will complement our existing and very successful WRL waterproof DC switch.

Continued growth in the security and control markets is driving sales of lock switches and we have one of the best ranges available. Having our design and manufacturing based in the UK gives us an edge on our competitors and allows us to quickly fulfil the growing demand for special application or custom variants of any of our switches.”

Lorlin’s WRLM miniature waterproof lock switch has many applications for medium level security and service access for small control panels such as control and alarm panels, outdoor machinery, security doors and gates, vending machines and office equipment. The new WRLM key switch is available direct from Lorlin or from franchised distributors worldwide.
