Description
Sliding Systems’ Non Corrosive, Heavy Duty Front Locking Handle is extensively used on fire truck and special vehicle drawers (straight slide out and slide and tilt). The double D handle and push button locking mechanism is located at the centre of the drawer front in order to ensure the operator’s gloved hands are kept well away from pinch risks. Rated to 500kg, this is an efficient locking system.
The strong aluminium handle enables the operator to exert full control over the movement of what is likely to be a heavy drawer, both when opening and closing, and the locking mechanism can be installed so as to provide a slam-shut lock-in functionality for slide and tilt drawers, as well as a lock-in and lock-out function for conventional straight slide-out drawers when mounted under the drawer pan. The locking mechanism retracts the spring loaded locking bolts, which slot into the slam-shut lock blocks integrally fixed to our award winning slide and tilt front bracket.
The handle is manufactured from cast aluminium with a specialist 7200 paint treatment designed for aerospace. The rods are supplied drilled and chamferred in 304 stainless steel. The plunger release is milled aluminium for weight reduction and strength. The housing is strong aluminium channel (not plastic!) and the internal components are moulded from strong GRP. The handle is supplied as a complete assembly, not in kit form. We own all the tooling for our handles.
The unit is generally supplied without an aluminium drawer front, and at a standard width of 1,500mm with other length options.The user would then cut the locking bolts to their own desired width, although the system can be supplied with the locking bolts pre-cut to the user’s specified length.
HANDLE NOW AVAILABLE IN YELLOW. The drawer front is not supplied. The Heavy Duty Front Locks are available ex stock.

we got let down by another supplier and had to visit the Sliding Systems factory in Wrexham. They got 30 handles ready on short notice and even loaded the van!

I was requiring 64 handles and the quantity dropdown only goes to 30. After a little head scratching I worked out that they get totalled up at the payment stage. Having the yellow handle option saves on hi-vis draw mark up also.
Ordered and shipped in 3 days

Got a handle in overnight after being let down by a previous supplier. Since ordered another 20 and they took two days. Also had slides in the same delivery. John was a great help in configuring the draw for me
