The team at FDB Panel Fittings has noticed that, in the past thirty years or so, electronic devices have almost completely replaced electrical controls and yet the type and style of housing have remained remarkably constant through that time. From small boxes, desktop cases, and wall-mounted enclosures to complete suites of cabinets primarily in steel and stainless steel they have all required locks, hinges, fasteners, gaskets.

Control panel designers are always juggling technical requirements for electrical control panels within financial constraints. On the one hand, there's the desire to select large control panels that maximise the arrangement of electrical equipment, and on the other, there's the necessity to adhere to strict cost constraints, which invariably necessitates compromises.

Electrical enclosures commonly found in industrial facilities can contain high voltages, ranging from 110 or 220 line voltage to many hundreds of volts. Regulations covering these enclosures require the verification of an absence of high voltages inside before any updates, repair or maintenance work can begin.
