Universal key for railway applications

The universal railway key from FDB Panel Fittings offers a single piece with the four common key types to save on carry weight.

This, said the company, ensures that engineers can always have the right key, right there to hand – with extra leverage for hard to turn locks and an integrated eyelet for easy attachment.

“In the railway industry, we work with many different key types for various applications, requiring people to carry a lot of keys wherever they go,” said FDB Panel Fittings MD Gary Miles. “So, we created a convenient and flexible product to better serve this industry – a universal key for four different inserts, so that engineers can conveniently open multiple applications with one key.”

This stainless steel key includes the conical square insert (Berne key), the socket square 7.6mm insert (UK), the DÜWAG insert and traditional conical square 9mm.
