We are delighted to launch this new DIRAK slam latch for sliding doors and panels. Designed especially for the broad range of industry, light commercial and high-quality residential sliding doors that are widely used on specialist vehicles, caravans, motorhomes, railways, office cabinets, domestic light doors, cupboards and storage units.
The DIRAK team explain that “locking systems for sliding doors must meet several requirements like durability, smooth operation and convenience. Our challenge was to match these attributes precisely and to design the latch so that it is visibly appealing as well as lockable.”
This new development in slam lock design offers convenience and reliability with oblong mounting holes which make it possible to use aluminium profiles of different profile widths and may also be used for adjustment. A sufficiently large rear grip makes it easy to open the door simply by pulling on the handle – the design makes it easy to close the door by sliding shut. Plus, lockable versions are optionally available keyed alike or keyed different. Available from our Online store here.
We are pleased to offer a wide range of handles (locking and non-locking) in zinc diecast, polyamide or stainless steel, including swing handles, lever and tee handles and wing handles – also a selection of bridge handles in various materials.
This new DIRAK compression latch meets the common need for a flush latch with compression/anti-vibration characteristics often found in rail transport, HVAC and furniture applications. The 7-086 and 7-087 provide discrete closure with visual indicator.
Both variants offer 6mm of gasket compression in a corrosion-resistant stainless steel mechanism which accommodates 1.8 to 22mm thickness doors dependent on choice of two housing lengths. This permits use of doors in steel, wood, fiberglass, synthetics and compound sandwich materials to match the style of panelling or other decorative features.
The 7-086 allows for cam depth adjustment by use of selected cranked cams, whereas notably the 7-087 provides for additional depth adjustment of the tab by virtue of a toolless knurled knob on a threaded shaft enabling cam adjustment to accommodate especially deep frames.
Inserts may be selected from all common options including square, triangular, double bar, conical square, in various sizes to suit corporate convention.
Lost your key to an enclosure or cabinet? Need duplicates? We can probably help from our stock of Online items – check it out here or contact our team for a quick turnaround.
Stainless steel hardware fittings for enclosures and cabinets are one of our busiest lines as people are looking for better quality, greater robustness and specifically hygiene designed products for wash-down and corrosion susceptible areas. We are delighted to have stocks of these items for rapid delivery with many others available on fast order turn around from our Online store.
Stainless steel is now popular for tabs/cams as well as for butt hinges, flap hinges,and removable hinges, L handles and T handles continue as traditional classics as are quarter turn latches and flush fit flap hinges.
Small PINET aluminium barrel bolts are now available from our Panel Fittings team – otherwise known as door or sash bolts they are made to slide into a cylindrical socket, providing a simple low-cost security solution with a positively fixed position, but where ready manual access is required.
Also known as sliding bolts or shoot bolts, this new introduction features a double latch to retain the bolt in either extended or withdrawn position. Barrel bolts are often used internally to retain one of a pair of double doors which is infrequently used, or otherwise they may be installed externally where it is important to maintain door closure but where access security is not an issue.
These new PINET 30mm aluminium hinges are for use as pairs or together with a matching friction, detent or spring hinge to modify door opening characteristics. Construction is in clear or black anodized aluminium with robust plastic hinge pin to resist corrosion.
The matching soft-close hinge offers controlled closure in three configurations with two different torque damping settings, making them suitable for many types of enclosure, cabinet and cupboard from factory floor to domestic furniture.
As suppliers of standard enclosed panels and of panel mounting components here at FDB we have a long history of also producing panels for special purposes – installations which require a different specification, a different level of performance, maybe a more robust enclosure – so whether you want something for indoor or outdoor installation – for single or 3 phase – for domestic, industrial or Rail use, then call our team to discuss how we can create the right package for you.
