A complete delight to have one’s efforts recognised – so thank you to one of our customers who e-mailed us to say :-
” Just a quick e-mail to say thank you for getting our handles to us in the time you did. They are now ready to go on the job and our customer is delighted ” – from an engineering company in the North East.
So if you too need a hardware service that goes that extra mile, checkout our Rocfast program, or call one of our service team who will be delighted to deal with your enquiry.
I know we talk a lot about customer service – its what we do after all – so it was brilliant to get this feedback out of the blue :-
” I would just like to thank you very much for FDB’s help over the past few weeks. All the staff have been extremely efficient, helpful and friendly” from one of our UK Panel Builder customers.
So whether you need standard locks, latches, handles, swinghandles, hinges or gasket – or something more custom in the way of panel fittings - we will do our best for you – and if you need a custom service package of specification, assembly and logistics then we can do that too under our Rocfast banner which has customer service at it’s heart.
As long-time suppliers to the specialist enclosure and panel fittings market, we at FDB have greatly added to and consolidated our range in recent months and are delighted to now stock and supply to ISO 9001 an extensive range of locks, handles, hinges, seals and other panel hardware from stock at competitive prices with the benefit of our popular Rocfast custom assembly and packaging service. The Rocfast system hand-holds customers from specification to delivery so that components are assembled and packed to suit specific production needs – so saving you time and money.
The Rocfast service covers all products encompassed in our profile – this includes: budget locks, camlocks, compression locks, knob locks, rod locks, spanner locks, waterproof locks, toggle latches, concealed hinges, flush hinges, butt hinges, lift-off hinges, ‘piano’ hinges, stainless hinges, weld-on hinges, earth bars/busbars, flush handles, grab handles, lever handles, tee handles, paddle handles, padlocks, support stays and seals/gaskets.

We are pleased to announce that we have far exceeded a 3000 plus inventory of specialist industrial access hardware for electrical enclosures, cabinets, electronic racks, control panels, HVAC equipment, lockers/furniture, amusement machines, retail displays, telephone and vehicle security.
Our Panel Fittings range now features locks of many types from quarter-turn through compression locks/latches and combination to pin tumbler, padlocks and rod locks. Standard handle types are catered for, including grab handles, T, L, swinghandles and winghandles. Many items are available in stainless steel 303, 304 or 316, making them suitable for use in chemical, food processing or marine situations where corrosion resistance, coupled to rugged performance are critical factors.
We have been leading specialists in the panel hardware arena for over 30 years and pride ourselves on providing “The Full Package”. As Terry Cantle explained: “We work hard to ensure that we provide real added value – not only with our product, but also by consulting closely with customers in order to provide a proven and reliable single source. We not only ensure specifications are met, but also that costs are minimised.”
Alongside locks and handles the natural complement is a standard range of hinges which in this case provides a huge selection of internal, external, lift-off, piano, weld-on, bolt-on and clip-in types – again with stainless steel variants if required. The innovative D-SNAP technology for tool-less panel joining and hardware fitment parallels traditional technologies with the added potential to save costs and time.
So, whether a project calls for toggle latches, busbars, combination or change locks, neoprene seals, gas struts or eye bolts, we continue to expand our portfolio and service support – a good example of which is the popular Rocfast assembly and packaging service.
Launched under our broadening Rocfast banner, this T bar key provides two hexagonal keys of 8mm section for operating standard inserts in compression and ¼ turn locks, e.g. for IP65 sealing of cabinets and enclosures. The Rocfast 8mm T bar keys are also useful for 8mm socket head screws used in mounting of handles, hinges, panelware or control and switchgear equipment.

Our extensive range of grab handles incorporates many different approaches – from factory equipment utility through office furniture to rugged domestic, in sizes that cover finger pulls and dish handles to low cost plastic bridge handles or robust chrome/steel.
Finger pulls and dish handles are compact solutions to low force requirements where a larger component would be out of place such as in the computer industry, 19” technology cabinets etc. Plastic bridge handles in the FDB range feature both low cost polypropylene and high grade polyamide materials in designs for front or rear mounting, with/without cosmetic snap-in covers. Steel based handles for more rugged applications are available with resilient elastomer cover for manual comfort. Chrome finished items provide stylish appearance, with black oxide finish also available. Industry standard sizes are available.
Grab handles, together with other components, may be ordered for supply in production packs under the Rocfast packaging/assembly service as a consolidated program.
We now have well over 100 standard handles available in a wide range of styles and materials and can manufacture to any specification, in any material, to any finish and deliver in Rocfast production packs to simplify your logistics and save you time and money in assembly or installation. For portable equipment and vehicular applications there is a range of robust, moulded grab rails and handles with integral steel cores and attractive textured finish, while lightweight polyamide handles with external or concealed fixings are ideal for portable equipment, floor safes and access panels – and are readily available from stock.
The grab ( or bridge ) handle range includes finger pulls for light duty or restricted space applications while the locking and swinghandle ranges also cover wing handles and padlockables with varients available in stainless steel and in D-SNAP technology.
The Rocfast program is a new service which we expect to save time, money and mistakes by offering quality locks assembled and delivered direct from our Panel Fittings experts here at FDB – including all major market leading industry brands. The Rocfast lock assembly service is designed to take the hard work out of an order process that often requires specification of individual lock components and time consuming self-assembly prior to installation. Our expert team will rapidly identify the optimum specification of components then order, assemble and deliver to site, to workshop or to metal former/subcontractor in line with our theme of providing “Panel Fittings for every Enclosure”.
The Rocfast service includes all ¼ turn favourites with appropriate keys, with IP rated sealing if required, with cams of all types, traditional L or T handles, swinghandles and compression locks as applicable. The Rocfast assembly program can efficiently deal with modern modular component systems or traditional single kit formats and with one-off or scheduled program deliveries as well as separate packaging of locks/backnuts/keys etc to suit logistical requirements. Further information on the FDB Rocfast program can be found at: www.rocfast.co.uk also contact us to consult our experts on your installation needs.
Our recently announced 7-081 IP67 stainless steel quarter-turn lock has a wealth of features that ensure its suitability for food processing and electronic clean room assembly areas.
The easy to clean polished and rounded shape eliminates crevices that could trap debris, thus preventing accumulation of dirt and bacterial contamination in conjunction with conventional cleaning methods, including high pressure cleaning. There is a reduced risk of injuries and guaranteed germ free environment within the enclosure. The 7-081 complies with FDA (Food and Drug Administration) requirements and features special red silicone gasketing for easy identification.
Additional features include electrical continuity by use of a grounding nut to protect users against static discharge. The wide variety of cams available ensures that there is high application flexibility and optimal fit to frame width.
Locks can be delivered pre-assembled under our Rocfast brand package.
