Lockwood LC8810 270mm Power Cable Transfer Lead Cover

Product SKU: EA280

Product Overview

The Lockwood LC8810 is a 270mm power cable transfer lead cover designed to provide protected cable transfer between the door frame and door leaf in electric locking applications. Suitable for hinged doors, it helps maintain a neat and professional installation by concealing and protecting the wiring path when the door is closed. This makes the LC8810 a practical choice for access control, electric locking and other low-voltage door hardware setups where reliable cable management is essential.

Why Choose the LC8810

The LC8810 is a strong choice for installers who need a tidy, durable and dependable way to route cables across a hinged door opening. Its flexible chrome-plated steel construction is designed to resist tampering while protecting the cable from everyday movement and wear. Because it is concealed when the door is closed, it also helps preserve a cleaner finish on commercial and institutional doorways where appearance, safety and reliability all matter.

Key Capabilities

Key Features

• Supports Continuous Wire Transfer: The LC8810 is designed to ensure unbroken transfer of wires between the door and frame in electric locking situations. This helps maintain consistent power or signal delivery to door-mounted hardware while reducing the risk of cable strain and exposed wiring.

• Suitable for Cables up to 8mm Diameter: It can accommodate cable up to 8mm in diameter, making it suitable for a range of common low-voltage access control and locking applications. This gives installers flexibility when planning power and signal cable routing through the opening.

• Vandal-Resistant Flexible Steel Design: The flexible steel construction with chrome-plated finish is designed to offer both durability and resistance to tampering. This makes it a solid option for commercial settings where door hardware can be exposed to regular use or occasional rough handling.

• Concealed When Door is Closed: Once the door is shut, the transfer lead cover is concealed, which helps maintain a cleaner and more discreet finished appearance. This is particularly valuable in professional environments where visible cable runs would detract from the overall presentation of the doorway.

• Suited to 90° Hinged Doors: The LC8810 is intended for hinged doors opening to 90 degrees, with a maximum opening angle of 120 degrees. This makes it the appropriate shorter option for many standard hinged access-controlled door installations.

• Fire-Rated for Approved Door Assemblies: The product has been successfully fire rated for up to 4 hours on fire door assemblies in accordance with AS1905.1. This can be important when specifying compatible accessories for compliant commercial and institutional door systems.

FAQs

1. What is the Lockwood LC8810 used for?
   The LC8810 is used to transfer cables safely between the door frame and the door on hinged door installations. It is commonly installed in electric locking and access control setups where power or signal wiring needs to reach hardware fitted to the moving door leaf. Its purpose is to protect the cable, support reliable operation and create a neater, more professional finish.
2. Is the LC8810 suitable for all doors?
   No, the LC8810 is intended specifically for hinged doors that open to 90 degrees, with a maximum opening angle of 120 degrees. It is the shorter option in the range and should be selected when the door geometry matches those requirements. It is not intended for centrally pivoted doors, so door type and opening movement should be checked before ordering.
3. Why is a power transfer lead cover important in an electric locking installation?
   A power transfer lead cover helps protect the cable running between the frame and the moving door, which is one of the more vulnerable points in an electrified opening. Without proper protection, wiring may be exposed to bending, snagging or accidental damage over time. Using a dedicated transfer cover improves cable protection, presentation and long-term system reliability.
