Specialist Torpedo style hinges from FDB Panel Fittings
Product News Wednesday, March 12, 2025: FDB Panel Fittings
FDB Panel Fittings and their sales partners at Weston Body Hardware have a great offering of torpedo style hinges which feature a lift-off design. Manufactured in chrome finished zinc die, these rugged hinges are a great option for enclosures and cabinets where a practical yet attractive hinge is required.
These unusual hinges have a traditional style to suit an older aesthetic, while providing a rugged hinge function with smooth design and simple installation. They present a quality hinge for a quality appearance, and come ex-stock from well-known enclosure hardware specialists FDB Panel Fittings via their Online store.
These popular ‘torpedo’ hinges are widely used for electrical cabinets and enclosures, allowing doors to be quickly mounted or removed from frames. The chromium-plated finish and 10 mm stainless steel pin gives good resistance to normal environmental conditions. Left-hand and right-hand variants are stocked for online purchase and are available with a black finish.
Doors can be arranged to lift-off when the fixed pin is located in the bottom half of both hinges. When a door is required to be permanently fixed, then the hinges should be installed with LH and RH together (opposed). Individual hinge installation is by simple plant-on positioning secured through countersunk holes in each hinge leaf. Availability is standard with bright chromium-plated finish (or raw for painting), while black is available to special order.
Performance Rig-tests have shown that two hinges (on a 1-metre frame) carried a load of 60kg. (130lb) without damage, equivalent to a moment of force of 60NM (3.43KN).
