SNAP-LINE bowed handles incorporate D-SNAP technology to allow each product to function as both a handle and a latch, making each product suitable for use with several types of sheet metal cabinets. Handles incorporating D-SNAP technology are simply snapped into place on a prepared panel, which can dramatically speed up installation processes because no screws, nuts or tools are needed. According to the company, this can save up to 90 percent of hardware installation time. These zinc die-cast handles also feature a clip for grounding for additonal safety and a set of spring-loaded wings in the handle housing. These wings have the capability to retract after passing through a cutout, so the handle is held securely in place, even in severe vibration applications. The company believes the strength and durability of their SNAP-LINE handles are comparable to that of products installed via traditional assembly methods. Since the handle does not require mounting hardware, the risk of hardware loosening over time and damaging sensitive electronic equipment is eliminated. Different sizes of spring-loaded wings make it possible to use the handle in any sheet metal thickness, and the handle can be used for right-hand or left-hand applications or horizontal or vertical doors, reducing the need to stock different part numbers for different door configurations.
