They are suited to marine applications and other harsh environments where they may be used to control an enclosure or cabinet door by acting as a restraint against gravity, wind or other forces, to hold the lid or door in a required position during installation or servicing/adjustment of internal equipment.

HG-TS hinges are manufactured in SUS304 polished stainless steel – sizes available include 32x36mm, 40x48mm and 50x48mm. They may be used in matching sets, while their progressive stop function enhances the usability and safety of the completed installation.

In January, FDB started offering small lift-off enclosure hinges ex-stock at its online store with its sales partner Enclosure Solutions.

The hinges have been designed particularly to suit small enclosures as used in electrical/electronic controls and distribution systems located in industrial facilities.

Small lift-off hinges are supplied with integral M6 studs and fixings so they may be mounted with both parts the same way up for easy door removal or reversed opposite to ensure the door may not be removed. Fixings are concealed internally to the enclosure so as to be inaccessible, thus aiding security of the housing against unauthorised access. Manufacture is in robust Zinc die with a black powder coat finish.

Last August, FDB Panel Fittings announced that its online store now offers many “spanner locks” ex-stock for industrial applications.

These locks feature internationally recognised operating keys based on a tool, spanner or coin and so are widely referred to as “spanner locks” This covers a range of quarter-turn locks for enclosures, office furniture, asset security, technical equipment, electrical/electronic cabinets, windows, garage doors and many other applications needing a robust closure mechanism with good sealing – generally of IP65.

Spanner locks of this type come from the FDB Panel Fittings Rocfast range and may be matched to standard cams of different off-sets to suit varying depths of frame/door, and of many lengths to suit frame widths with differing door/frame overlaps.

Elsewhere in the business, FDB Panel Fittings and its sales partner Elesa have been offering practical bridge hands for many manual opening situations.

They are available in round profile steel/chrome or stainless steel AISI 303 with rear fixing for security and aesthetics.
