Bridge handles are an essential but often un-noticed component for many applications – until it isn’t there or the item fitted is uncomfortable to use! Variously referred to as bridge handles, pull handles, grab handles or similar they are found on cabinet doors, displays, drawers, equipment, access panels etc for opening, sliding, lifting, or positioning – a truly ubiquitous hardware item.

As leading Enclosure hardware specialists here at FDB Panel Fittings we work hard to ensure our range of quarter turn latches, locks, wing knobs, spanner locks, stainless steel and long body latches is 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.

They feature a robust format with appropriate IP protection – typically up to IP65 and may be fitted with a wide selection of cams/tabs to accommodate varying door/frame depths, they are suited to control/distribution/storage/filing/equipment cupboards/cabinets and enclosures.
As a supplier of hardware components, we work every day with panel builders who need to achieve various levels of protection depending on the specific configuration of the installation and the environment in which it will operate. To help achieve this – whether IP44 or IP67 or something else, we offer a high-quality selection of locks and latches alongside the hinges and gasket sealing profiles.
Generally, in terms of IP protection, we tend to focus on the locks and latches since they are more self contained – whereas hinges and gasket must be evaluated in so far as the cabinet design is suited to them and facilitates their overall sealing.
eg in regard the sealing between lock body and door, and in terms of placement of the lock and especially considering the operation, dimensions and adjustment of the cam or tab which greatly affects the integrity of the gasket seal.
