Abstract
A sliding rod closure for a cabinet door hinged on a switch cabinet body having a locking mechanism which has an actuating member displaceable in the direction of rotation. The actuating member is coupled to a sliding unit that has a spaced adjusting member situated perpendicular to the sliding direction of the rotational axis of the actuating member. The adjusting member can be operated by the actuating member. The sliding rod closure can be used to meet various requirements thus resulting in an easier operation. The adjusting member can be assigned to the actuating member in a variety of assembly positions, whereby the sliding direction of the sliding unit is maintained in various assembly positions. However, the direction of rotation of the actuating member is modified or the sliding direction of the sliding unit is also modified, and the direction of rotation of the actuating member is maintained.
