The HMETRI8 is an 8 mm triangle escutcheon insert from the HMEIN Series for HME modular freestanding enclosures. It is the largest triangle profile in the series, for facilities that standardise on an 8 mm triangle key.

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 HMETRI8 replaces the standard double bit insert with a 8 mm triangle profile.

The matching key listed in the series table is the HMETRK8, for escutcheon - 8mm triangle. 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 triangle, short description HME INSERT - 8MM TRIANGLE. 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 HMETRI8 is identified by UPC 623980051741 and UNSPSC code 39121321.
