Isleworth, United Kingdom, July 19, 2024 — FDB Panel Fittings are delighted to offer traditional L handles for specialist cabinet manufacturers which are now available ex-stock and online from the FDB Online Store – one example being the Lowe & Fletcher 1602 locking L-Handle. Now available from their Online store this handle is manufactured in zinc die with chrome finish and concealed fixing. It features an 8mm square spindle x 75mm (other lengths on request) with 90° or 180° movement.

Other types and sizes are offered with/without locking options or with padlock facility. Typical applications include furniture, electrical enclosures, electronic cabinets, specialist motor vehicles, railway rolling stock and similar. Many T and L handles are simply latch handles but most are also available with associated locks usually integrated into the handle itself. Sealing levels available are variable dependent on requirements from simple low level non rated items for office or indoor industrial applications.

The range of L handles from FDB Online are manufactured in black or chrome zinc die cast, polyamide or stainless steel for use either as standalone locking handles or with multi-point rod lock control mechanisms. Tabs/cams are listed in a great variety of depths to suit the design parameters of the door/frame and the gasket to ensure proper sealing.

L handles provide a traditional and comfortable way of operating latches with or without key locks. Generally, they are a simple fit into a keyed hole then assembled with a back-nut to provide a cam or tab latch. They are available in zinc die, polyamide or stainless steel – many of them are compatible with multi-point locking systems by using rod mechanisms to provide an additional two points of closure. This enhances security especially on large cabinet doors both in terms of sealing and preventing unauthorised opening – while still enabling single-handed opening/closing.

With sophisticated ergonomic design, these handles typically come easily to hand and are comfortable to use. Their leverage allows the operation of internal rod systems for multi-point gasket sealing and added security, which is increasingly important for the protection of sophisticated digital process controls.

Lions Tigers and Bears Joins San Diego Comic-Con 2024

San Diego, CA, July 19, 2024 –– Southern California’s only fully accredited animal sanctuary, Lions Tigers and Bears, will have a full presence at this year’s Comic-Con International in San Diego, with an official panel discussion on Friday, July 26, and a free family-friendly outside event on Saturday, July 27 (no Comic Con badge required).

Lions Tigers & Bears (The San Diego Animal Sanctuary®) is grander in scope and differs from a zoo, park, or petting farm, by giving rescued animals (many of whom come from the illicit wildlife trade) a real “happily ever after” to live out their lives in a protected and humane way. Often called a “hidden gem” of San Diego, the fully accredited sanctuary will join the global sensation of Comic-Con International over two days.

A Friday night panel entitled “Animals on Screen” will feature sanctuary Founder & Director Bobbi Brink, who was crucial in passing the Big Cat Public Safety Act (which prohibits the private ownership of big cats). The discussion will explore the public’s fascination with animals on the silver screen, the abuse that takes place off-screen, as well as captive animal actors for streaming and video game development. Ethical solutions such as VFX technologies will be exhibited by panelist Mark Nazal (Gotham, Westworld, Lucifer), an Emmy Award-winning VFX Supervisor and Executive, and Emmy Award-winning Producers PJ Haarsma (Con Man) and Drew Lewis (Couch Soup) of Red Bear Films. The panel takes place Friday, July 26, at 7:45 pm in Grand Ballroom 6 at the Marriott Marquee San Diego Marina.

On Saturday, Lions Tigers & Bears will host a free event at The Cat Café just a block away from the convention center. This family-focused event allows patrons to enjoy “purr therapy,” with domestic cats available for adoption. The joint partnership between Lions Tigers and Bears and Tony Wang (owner of The Cat Café) will promote the concept: “Exotic cats don’t make good pets – adopt a domestic cat!” Free attractions will include a green screen, red carpet photos, interview opportunities, a video 360 camera, cosplayers, face painters, and a raffle to win a private overnight safari experience at the sanctuary (a $1250 value). The event takes place at The Cat Café, 302 Island Ave. San Diego, from 11 am-3 pm. It is a public event and Comic-Con badges are not required.

The first 25 people who come in-person to the Saturday event and purchase a sanctuary membership can bring a guest for free (a $55 value). Additionally, only during Comic-Con (July 24-28), all online bookings made for Lions Tigers and Bears adventures are 25% off – this includes day visits, memberships, animal feedings, and overnight stays (White Oak, Wild Nights).
