Door Hardware Systems
Our door hardware systems combine patented Lapcon soft-close technology with precision engineering for commercial and residential applications. These solutions prevent slamming while maintaining smooth operation, featuring concealed hinges with 3-way adjustability and marine-grade stainless steel components. The FD80H pocket door system offers 200,000-cycle durability with tool-free adjustments, ideal for high-traffic environments requiring both aesthetic appeal and functional performance.
Drawer Slides
Stainless steel drawer slides with ball bearings provide quiet, smooth operation for industrial and residential storage needs. Our full-extension slides support heavy loads while maintaining durability in demanding environments. The linear guides feature low-friction rollers with chemical resistance, suitable for automation systems and temperature-sensitive applications across aerospace, medical, and food equipment industries.
Torque Dampers
Precision-engineered torque dampers ensure smooth, controlled motion for cabinets and industrial equipment. These fluid-damping systems eliminate stress through quiet operation, featuring barrel, disk, and rotary configurations. Designed for bakery case closers and specialty applications, they provide enhanced safety while maintaining durability in high-use commercial settings.
Cabinet Catches
Magnetic and mechanical cabinet catches offer secure closure solutions with soft-close options. NSF-certified models meet food service industry standards, while spring-loaded mechanisms prevent slamming. Available in 304/316-grade stainless steel, these catches combine safety features with aesthetic design for residential and commercial cabinetry applications.
