FDB announces snap-line® panel fittings range
FDB Panel Fittings recently introduced the extensive SNAP-LINE range of panel hardware components. This range of locks/handles, hinges, compression latches, quarter-turns, swinghandles, joining elements, pull handles and slam latches is likely to interest specialist enclosure or cabinet builders who are looking for a simple labour saving way to rationalise panel punching and subsequent assembly.
The SNAP-LINE system features a unique clip-in and tool removal system covering metal thicknesses from 0.8mm up to 2.7mm in convenient steps to suit normal industrial practice. Degrees of sealing offered by hinges and locks/handles can achieve up to IP65 where specified.
This unique modular technology requires only rectangular hole punching to suit the relevant component which can then be pushed into place by hand to achieve a firm positive fit. The system can be used to fabricate complete cabinets by means of joining elements which can hold sides to back, panels to frames - other components then complete the assembly with snap-in hinges and door closure/security items and so on.
The technology that enables this involves careful use of detail design criteria and spring utilisation to ensure a “locked-in” tight fit once installed and a robust assembly when in use. Further information on FDB Panel Fittings products and services may be found at: www.fdb.co.uk.
