Commonly referred to as a “Trap-door” latch the unit is flush mounted with rubber anti-rattle feature. The mechanism has a dual operation with unlocking achieved by means of a separate T handle type key – this also releases the integral T handle for manual operation of the door or access panel.
Finish is in polished chrome with a non-locking variant, also available for places where locking is either not needed – such as a trap door – or provided elsewhere, but still requiring an inset/flush handle for operation. Fitment is via a keyed 75mm dia hole cutout typically in 2mm panelling. Further information on FDB Panel Fittings products and services may be found at: www.fdb.co.uk.
