3.1 handle <cabinet> mechanical component to open or close the door of a cabinet, equipped on the door of the cabinet
3.2 key <cabinet> device to allow only authorized access to a cabinet, assembled into the handle of the cabinet or on the door of the cabinet
3.3 mechanical lock
<cabinet> mechanical component assembled in the door of a cabinet that secures the door to the frame or other structural member of the cabinet and is operated by the handle
3.4 multipoint mechanical lock
<cabinet> system of more than one mechanical lock operated by a single handle
3.5 access security level
<cabinet> level of security against unauthorized access, determined by the security measures needed to obtain access to the cabinet
Note 1 to entry: The access security level of an indoor cabinet depends on the type of installation site (building) and on the cabinet’s location in the building.
3.6 access protection
<cabinet> protection against unauthorized access to a cabinet
3.7 security performance
<cabinet> performance of the mechanical components of a cabinet to achieve the intended protection against unauthorized access
Note 1 to entry: The mechanical components of the cabinet are shown in Figure 1 .IEC 61587-6 pdf download.
