Why Choose the Rittal DK7824.520 TS8 180° Hinge?
The Rittal DK7824.520 is a 180° hinge set designed to extend the opening angle of sheet steel doors on compatible Rittal TS 8 and TS IT enclosure systems. It is particularly suited to bayed enclosure suites where improved access to the enclosure interior is required for installation, maintenance and servicing.
Manufactured from robust die-cast zinc and finished in RAL 7035, the DK7824.520 provides a maximum 180° door opening angle when used with the specified sheet steel door configurations. This allows the enclosure door to open substantially further than with standard hinge arrangements, providing convenient access in industrial and IT installations.
The hinge set is supplied as a pack of 4 complete with the required assembly parts. It is designed for TS 8 bayed enclosure suites with comfort handles and TS IT enclosures. Rittal specifies that the product is not suitable for divided doors and notes that the enclosure protection category may be reduced when these hinges are installed.

Reliable Access for TS 8 and TS IT Enclosures
A wider door opening angle can significantly improve access when installing equipment, routing cables or carrying out maintenance inside an enclosure. The Rittal DK7824.520 replaces the existing hinge arrangement to provide a maximum opening angle of 180° on compatible sheet steel doors.
When the hinges are used within a bayed enclosure suite, Rittal specifies that the doors must be hinged on the same side. The product is not suitable for divided doors, and installation may reduce the enclosure's original protection category, so these factors should be considered when specifying the hinge set for a particular application.
Typical Applications
- Rittal TS 8 bayed enclosure suites.
- Rittal TS IT enclosures.
- Industrial control and automation cabinets.
- IT and network infrastructure enclosures.
- Electrical distribution and control systems.
