FAQ
Can you send samples?
Yes, we can provide a few free samples for the customer, but we hope that the shipping cost can be covered by you.
What is the biggest difference between sanitary handles and regular stainless steel handles?
The main difference is not just the stainless steel material, but the hygienic structure. The hygienic handle features a smooth, easy-to-clean shape, a concealed fixing method, and a blue hygienic sealing ring that closes the installation connection area between the handle and the door panel, reducing hygiene dead corners.
Why should blue sealing rings be added to both ends of the handle?
The gasket can seal the gaps around the mounting hole, reducing the entry of water, cleaning agents, food residues, and contaminants into the fixed hole. The blue color facilitates visual inspection in food production environments.
Why is SUS316L Recommended?
SUS316L offers superior corrosion resistance in environments that are moist, saline, chlorinated, and frequently exposed to cleaning agents, making it more suitable than ordinary carbon steel or standard 304 for food, dairy, seafood, and pharmaceutical equipment.
Does ForndLock support custom sanitary handles based on drawings or equipment requirements?
