Industrial latch and lock cams from FDB Online

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.

This is also a significant component in producing the operational "feel" when closing a door and potentially in ensuring that the closure itself is properly secure.

The cam selected therefore should be suitable for the standard locks and handles used on industrial enclosures or cabinets - also for access and other equipment panels. We need to bear in mind that enclosures, cabinets and inspection/access panels are an important protective layer for both humans and equipment - so correct lock fitment is "key" to operation and longevity.

The selection of ex-stock cams available from the Panel Fittings Online store make this task more straightforward. Matching the offset of a cam with the lock body length is crucial to success of any enclosure installation - a process that Panel Fittings simplify for customers by offering their Rocfast assembly/logistics program. This service includes the ability to consult their experienced technical sales team to generate the right specification for each customer project.

The follow up of lock assembly and delivery greatly simplifies supply of correctly specified and assembled units to production or on-site fitting.
