Getting in the swing

The 2-103 Swinghandle from FDB Panel Fittings offers, according to the company, IP65 or IP67 ingress protection, with the added benefits of vibration and vandal resistance

"These features make the 2-103 swinghandle especially suitable for road/rail and street furniture applications, as well as for outdoor utility projects," states FDB Panel Fittings.

Robust zinc die construction, designed with minimal gaps, provides deterrence against vandalism. The design also integrates a further magnetic lock cover for weather protection and an integrated spring release mechanism for the handle, which is automatically released from the handle body, making it especially easy to operate even when wearing gloves.

The 2-103 is also said to be particularly robust in its construction, facilitating the use of high closure force gaskets for improved sealing.
