FDB Online announces a large format surface-mount slam latch set, purpose designed by Weston Body Hardware. It offers an inside safety release which is widely required for large-size insulated enclosures, such as cold stores or containerised units, where a surface-mounted latch is preferable to avoid breaching the thermal integrity of the door.

Why make things difficult when they can be simple? With EMKA's new 125 degree clip-in hinge, available in various materials, doors and flaps can be easily attached to and detached from the frame. The internal hinge for surface-mounted doors is suitable for classic industrial applications and for special vehicle construction or rail vehicles.

FDB says the process of specifying a lock mechanism it is often an undervalued task where the selection of the correct camto match the depth of door frame can be crucial to correct performance of the enclosure and achievement of the required IP degree of protection.

Southco has launched the new T6 Friction Hinge, a cost-effective access hardware solution that helps designers remove play from their panels without breaking their budget.
