Enclosure hardware specialist FDB Panel Fittings has been working hard to ensure its range of quarter turn latches, locks, wing knobs, spanner locks, stainless steel and long body latches are available ex-stock to accommodate office furniture doors and panels which may be thicker than those on steel enclosures, being often of compound laminate construction.

FDB Panel Fittings reports that its Online store now offers ex-stock mid and high-range enclosure lock programs which include quarter turn latches, locks, wing-knobs, spanner locks, all with excellent IP ratings, typically to IP65 degrees of sealing.

FDB Panel Fittings offers traditional style diecast hinges for use on the outside of enclosures where they can facilitate lift-off operation, to ensure easy removal of doors for access to internal equipment during installation or maintenance.

For time-critical applications where timely delivery of even a latching mechanism may be vital, the online team at FDB Panel Fittings offers a solution that encompasses ex-stock urgent delivery of a wide range of cam latches with barrel body and inserts.

FDB Panel Fittings is pleased to announce a new flush-mounted design of compression rotary latch in stainless steel, with precise compression so that they are now rated to IP65 and up to IP69K, for protection from dust and water.

With the data centre industry undergoing significant expansion to meet growing user demand, investments in data security and physically securing these new facilities reliably must be a top priority, as Sonny Van Ngo, business development manager for electronic access solutions at Southco, explains.
