Two Design Styles

The application or use normally decides the style. For example, if frequent opening is required, the new 1/4 turn contemporary design is faster and easier than removing the compression clamps. If the application demands heavy equipment mounted to the doors or large cutouts that weaken the door structure, a heavy duty traditional style is recommended. Hammond offers a variety of both Traditional and Euro/Contemporary designs with various NEMA ratings, material types and features.  

Traditional Design

Traditional design is generally heavy duty or severe environment conditions.

Euro or Contemporary Design

Euro/Contemporary design is generally used for appearance, ease of entry or for use with modular accessories.
