We now offer custom variants on our popular standard power protection units – these are all housed in wall mounting, steel enclosures incorporating RCDs, RCBOs, and Earth monitoring equipment. The flexibility of this system enables us to adapt to specialist requirements for individual installations – for example larger sizes or use of multiple devices – or where halogen-free G.R.P. enclosures may be appropriate for harsh or hostile environments. Additional information may be seen here.
Concealed hinges in AISI 304 are primarily used for security reasons but also for aesthetics. They find application on enclosure and cabinet doors for industrial use or for office/domestic kitchens or bathrooms.
Internally mounting or concealment behind door returns ensures that the hinge is protected from attempts to force removal of hinge pins or mounting screws. In many cases appropriate hinge selection enables door demounting once the door has been opened – with easy post operation refitting.
DIRAK and Pinet stainless steel concealed hinges in pin format or parallelogram designs are available ex-stock from our Online Shop, with opening angles of 90 deg to 180 deg. They are suited to single cabinets or rows with surface mounted and flush doors. Fixing is by bolting, screws or welding.
We are delighted to now have a section at our Online store dealing with Rocfast assembled locks sealing to IP65 featuring different inserts and body/cam combinations in zinc die as well as some in stainless steel AISI 316/304.
Ease of installation with these fully assembled locks saves time and assembly errors while ensuring speedy installation in all types of enclosures or cabinets. Assembled quarter-turn locks are the generic choice for low-level security while facilitating an excellent degree of protection against ingress of dust and water in environments from indoor to outdoor.
Rocfast assembled locks are available ex-stock for urgent delivery.
We are pleased to offer concealed, internal hinges from Pinet with parallelogram links as typically used in small cabinets or wall-mounted enclosures. These are now available from the Online store for applications where it is required to keep the door within the width of the body when opened. The parallelogram design offers a compact installation with a 90 to 125 degree opening.
These hinges feature parallelogram links in steel, aluminium and stainless steel – for rugged use or corrosion resistance. Fixing is with screws so they are suitable for thick doors and cabinet walls.
Also in the range is a pair of 7 axis 110 degree opening hinges especially for horizontal use with upward-opening door panels – e.g. for overhead locker type cabinets that are mounted high up, so the door can be lifted out of the way to provide clear access.
By the nature of how quarter turns are specified and installed, they are traditionally ordered as components with the customer identifying the body length, insert type and cam configuration so as to ensure a correct fit and closure. This would normally leave the installing engineer (or assistant) to do the assembly as required – the FDB Rocfast system now enables a customer to have these parts fully assembled prior to delivery.
Most locks are quite simple but others are fiddly and time-consuming to fit together – especially where a high degree of sealing is involved and separate O rings or gasket needs careful placement eg compression locks. The Rocfast team here at FDB is skilled at these assembly operations with quick delivery in mind.

Rectangular cut sheet or extruded gasket sections from our FDB Online store offer a simple enclosure door sealing solution. They are readily fixed to a flat enclosure frame or door panel where the rubber can interact with a compression edge of the mating component, so enabling the level of IP sealing to be increased. Sizes range from 8mm x 2mm up to 50mm x 50mm.
Closed cell sponge rubber tapes are cut from EPDM or CR with a self-adhesive and non-stretching backing. Special non-standard dimensions are available on request – usually within a three-week time frame.
The rectangular seals with a surface skin finish are made from EPDM or Neoprene extrusion and are available both with or without one-sided self-adhesive. They are non-stretching and in the self-adhesive format they come with glue on the self-adhesive side as an assembly aid. For permanent fixing, the seals can be supplied with acrylic foam (AF) adhesive.
Simple weld-on hinges offer robust operation with secure fixing and robust operation with lift-off facility – we have a selection of these hinges for enclosure and cabinet doors – many of them available ex-stock for urgent delivery from our Online store.
We are pleased to offer our VEF series of Variable earth leakage protection relays at our Online store. The range includes the VEF 21 with control voltage of 24V – 240V AC/Dc, trip current: 0.02A -30A (in 3 ranges) and time delay: 20mSec – 2 Secs (in 2 ranges).
VEF 41 with trip current: 20mA to 2.0A (in 2 ranges), time delay: 20mSec – 2 Secs (in 2 ranges) and integral CT: 28mm Ø. Top of the range is the VEF 51 with integral CT: 46mm Ø. All units are fully encapsulated in a halogen-free, polycarbonate enclosure with 35mm din-rail or chassis mounting to ensure easy installation in new systems or upgrades.

These Clip-on profiles now available from our Online store combine the characteristics of edge protection profiles and sealing profiles. Their Clip-on design enables quick and convenient installation to provide effective enclosure sealing when fitted to a flange edge. This gives rise to the description “P” type gasket and it is the hollow “P” section that allows a door clamping range from 0.8mm to 6.00mm. This is especially useful when paired with compression latches which typically provide a 6mm clamping range. In these situations, the hollow section can be punched to release internal pressure as the “P” part is compressed.
Combination clip-on sealing profiles extend the properties of edge protection to include sealing by featuring, a sealing part of the profile made of sponge rubber which is then bonded by vulcanization during the extrusion process to a soft rubber with a steel clip-on core.
Our combination profiles consist of PVC with closed cell sponge rubber profiles. These sponge rubber elements are made of high-quality synthetic rubber and are characterized by a high age resistance and great elasticity. The profiles made of NBR are oil-resistant and tested according to UL standards.
We are aware that the term “handle” covers a wealth of types and styles – which is why we carry stock in depth with listing of 99 line items at our Online store for urgent delivery under the headings of:
