Non-locking L handle

FDB Panel Fittings have added a sleek, robust non-locking L handle to their Online Store selection.

The 1608 handle is ideal for simple low-security access or for use in combination with more complex closure systems.



Explained Gary Miles, MD at FDB Panel Fittings: “We have found that customers appreciate more and more the easy availability of items like the 1608 L handle on same-day despatch. It is astonishing where these products end up, from locker rooms to complex production and control systems all around the world – even on super yachts!”

The 1608 is a chrome finished zinc die unit with concealed fixing – it features an industry standard 8mm square spindle of 75mm length with 90° or 180° movement.

Toolless assembly quarter-turn latch

The new programme 1000 EMKA toolless assembly quarter-turn latch from FDB Panel Fittings saves up to 80% of assembly time (and a lot of fiddling around), while offering protection against dust and water ingress up to IP69K.

This polyamide/zinc die latch mechanism for enclosures or access panels offers a choice of 20 different inserts to suit the key type required, together with three depths of cranked cam and optional electrical safety cap.

FDB Panel Fittings point out that the 1000 series snap-in quarter-turn latch fits a standard EMKA cut-out in sheet thickness of 1.00mm to 3.00mm with a simple push fit assembly in a positive no-tools 2-step process which provides secure fixing and smooth operation on all types of specialist enclosures.
