FDB Panel Fittings' SNAP-LINE range of panel hardware components includes locks/handles, hinges, compression latches, quarter-turns, swinghandles, joining elements, pull handles and slam latches. The range 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 novel 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 modular system 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.
