The HMESQI8 is an 8 mm square escutcheon insert from the HMEIN Series for HME modular freestanding enclosures. It is the larger of the two square profiles in the series, for panel builders matching an 8 mm square key used elsewhere on site.

Standard door hardware on HME enclosures is an escutcheon plate with double bit insert, and a variety of other inserts (and matching keys) are available as alternatives. The HMESQI8 replaces the standard double bit insert with a 8 mm square profile.

The matching key listed in the series table is the HMESQK8, for escutcheon - 8mm square. Ordering the insert with that key ensures the door can be operated once the new profile is fitted.

Hammond lists the part as Escutcheon insert - 8mm square, short description HME INSERT - 8MM SQUARE. It ships in a bag at 0.1 lbs (0.05 kg) and is REACH and RoHS compliant.

The HMEIN Series lists inserts and matching keys for 7 mm and 8 mm square, 6.5 mm, 7 mm and 8 mm triangle, double bit w/3mm pin and standard double bit profiles, plus a slot coin proof insert and a non-locking insert for the HMEHLKL lift handle, so profiles can be chosen per cabinet. For purchasing and inventory records, the HMESQI8 is identified by UPC 623980051697 and UNSPSC code 39121321.
