The guide also provides guidance on assembly, packaging, and worldwide logistics – delivering directly to the site.

The FDB Rocfast program specialises in lock assemblies, covering all major industry brands. By simplifying the typically complex process of specifying and assembling individual lock components, Rocfast is said to remove the burden of self-assembly and ensure that customers receive a fully assembled solution tailored to their needs.

Rocfast supports a range of ¼ turn locks, complete with matching keys and optional IP-rated sealing. The service also includes traditional L or T handles, swinghandles, and compression locks. Additionally, standard latch inserts can be upgraded to handle inserts, such as T-handles, L-handles, Star Knobs, and Wing Knobs, catering to various industry requirements. For dusty environments, FDB offers dust caps and finger pulls for easy panel access.

To further enhance security and stability, Rocfast provides serrated lock washers to prevent loosening and earth (grounding) nuts designed to cut through painted surfaces for reliable electrical connections. Customers benefit from a four-step selection process: Pick your housing – Pick your insert – Pick your cam – and receive a fully assembled, ready-to-install lock.

Last month, FDB launched a range of premium hinges designed to enhance the functionality and protection of enclosures across a variety of applications.

From consumer electronics to large industrial cabinets, FDB’s hinges ensure secure access, durability, and smooth operation. Key benefits include easy maintenance, tamper-resistance, and long-term reliability, even in the harshest environments.

Offering a selection of hinge types, including butt, continuous, concealed, lift-off, and quarter-turn, FDB ensures a tailored solution for every design requirement. With materials like stainless steel, aluminium, and zinc-plated steel, these hinges are said to provide exceptional performance under challenging conditions, including exposure to moisture, temperature extremes, and high-frequency use. Lift-off hinges offer quick access for maintenance, while concealed hinges provide a clean, tamper-resistant look for high-security applications.
