combination locks

FDB one stop shop for Panel ComponentsWe 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.

“KISS” is a well known injunction taken to heart daily by design engineers all over the world – and by the Panel Fittings specialists at FDB. This new Mechanical Combination Lock is designed to offer just that – simple fitment and simple operation, with the benefits of a secure 4 digit user code. Designed as it is for use on an extensive range of metal and wooden cabinets, enclosures, cupboards, drawer units and other office/industrial equipment furniture – this intuitive mechanical code entry lock has a mechanical key override and the ability for the end user to set and change their own personal entry code. It is supplied with a choice of cams and can be set to left or right hand mode by the flick of a switch on the rear of the lock.

The clue or in this case the “key” is in what is says on the tin - this recently introduced high quality lock system for equipment cabinets and personnel access doors – our new Digital Combination Lock (IP54) - is battery operated allowing the user immediate and simple keypad access without the need for a key. Users have the flexibility to set and change their personal entry code whilst a preset master code ensures that supervisor access is always available. This innovative product can be programmed for dedicated single-user or multi-user “open access” mode and is suitable for a wide range of applications, including wet areas due to its IP54 certification.
