Button-Fix Type 2 Compact Drop-Down Fix
Secure concealed 90° panel fastener with controlled drop-down removal for service access.
Drop-down releaseWall: 120kg per 4 fixesFor 18mm panelsPacks of 1 – 1,000
The Button-Fix Type 2 Compact Drop-Down Fix is a concealed fastener for panels joined at 90° or fixed panel to frame, where extra security is needed but access must still be possible. The panel locks in place and drops down in a controlled way when it needs to come off. With its compact installation depth it can be fitted at the edge of an aperture in 18mm panels, making it ideal for washroom IPS, boxing-in and service access panels.
Why Fitters Choose It
🔒 Extra Security
The drop-down design holds panels firmly while still allowing access when needed.
📏 Compact Depth
Smaller than the standard Type 2, so it fits at the edge of an aperture in 18mm board.
🔧 Any Orientation
Suitable for vertical, horizontal and angled panels.
✔ High Strength
Fix and button are moulded from 30% glass-filled nylon PA6.
