Standards and Specifications
The panel fastening pull type door lock is a reliable solution, and its operation speed and strength are crucial to provide high strength hidden contacts.
Only one hexagon wrench can be used to assemble the entire structure for hidden fixation; Once fixed, the door lock is hidden in the panel.
Fornd has introduced an upgraded R2/R5 Series panel fastening draw latch designed for consistent, high-strength performance across diverse applications. Made from galvanized steel, the latch offers durability, a uniform appearance, and economical, low-risk installation.
The R2 and R5 latches join and secure large panels with less than one turn of a hex wrench, enabling quick assembly or disassembly. Both mount behind or within panels for concealed operation, delivering a clean, tamper-resistant finish. Their pull-up action compresses gasketing for an airtight or watertight seal, protecting sensitive components from dust, moisture, and chemicals.
Key Features:
Concealed mounting for an uninterrupted exterior surface
Tool-actuated operation with a single hex wrench
Pull-up latch compression for tight, sealed connections
Adjustable to accommodate panel variation or gasket shrinkage
Heavy-duty metallic construction; zinc finish
Multiple mounting styles (tab, front, side, mortise) and configurations for varying panel thicknesses
R2 vs. R5:
R2: Self-adjusting design for tolerance flexibility, high strength for general use
R5: Fixed engagement for maximum hold, suited to demanding, high-load environments
Benefits:
Enhanced aesthetics and hidden security
Fast, reliable fastening or release
Increased design flexibility for industries like transportation, modular structures, cleanrooms, medical equipment, furniture, and marine
Long-lasting, high-tensile load performance (approx. 6,200 N tensile, 8,900 N shear)
Applications:
Industrial enclosures, heavy-duty access panels, exhibits/signs, cabinetry, portable structures, and environments requiring vibration resistance and sealing.
