FAQs

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase, in original packaging, on orders delivered within the United Kingdom. For damaged-on-arrival items, report within 24 hours with photographs to [email protected] — we will typically arrange collection and replacement at no cost to you. For parts that don't fit your machine, the Fit Guarantee covers a hassle-free return at no cost. For buyer's remorse — you've changed your mind or ordered the wrong item, email us first to obtain a Return Merchandise Number; a restocking fee may apply. Refunds are issued to the original payment method once the return is inspected.

Delivery time depends on the product, your destination, and availability — the estimated time for any item appears on the product page, and 'Check where we deliver' confirms coverage for your postcode before you order. Next-day delivery is available on most products; the option appears at checkout when applicable. We deliver across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Use the country selector at checkout to confirm coverage and delivery options for your destination.

Start with two measurements: panel thickness and cutout size. The 1401 stainless steel series suits standard panel thicknesses with a round cutout, while the 1406 and 1407 series accommodate different panel depths. The 1419 SUS series is specified where corrosion resistance is the priority. Once you have both measurements, match them against the series listings. If your existing lock body carries a visible series number, that reference is the fastest route to a like-for-like replacement.

A standard swing handle operates by hand and latches without additional security. A padlockable swing handle incorporates a shackle loop or receiver so a padlock can be fitted to restrict unauthorised access. Both variants are listed under the Swing Handle Lock sub-category. When specifying a replacement, confirm which configuration is fitted to the cabinet before ordering, as the two types share similar profiles but are not interchangeable.

The 2118 small torque hinge series is suited to lighter panels and smaller guard doors where controlled positioning is needed. For heavier door weights, the 2123 series is the appropriate choice. Key variables are door weight, hinge centres and the torque value required to hold the door at a set angle. If the original hinge carries a part number, use that reference directly. Where the number is absent, use Ask Simon on the relevant product page for an instant fitment check.

Trade and project quantities can be discussed directly with the team. If a specific reference within the Cams, Compression Lock, Lever Handle Lock, Lever Latch, Locking Rod or T Handle Lock ranges is not currently visible on the site, contact us before assuming it is unavailable. Reach the team by WhatsApp 07754288583 or email [email protected] with the series reference, quantity and any panel or cutout specifications, and we will confirm availability and lead time.

Access Hardware

Access Hardware covers the latches, locks, hinges and closure systems used on enclosures, control cabinets, machine guards, panels and transit cases. The range sits within the Spring, Strut & Hardware section and is aimed at trade buyers specifying or replacing closure hardware across production, maintenance and OEM build programmes. Nine sub-categories make up the section: Cams, Compression Lock, Lever Handle Lock, Lever Latch, Locking Rod, Quarter Turn Latches & Locks, Screw On Hinge, Swing Handle Lock, and T Handle Lock. Quarter Turn Latches & Locks is the broadest grouping, covering the 1401 stainless steel series, the 1401 special handle series, the 1402, 1406, 1407 and 1419 SUS series, and further variants keyed to panel thickness and cutout size. Swing Handle Lock lists padlockable swing handles alongside standard swing handle configurations, and Screw On Hinge includes the 2118 small torque hinge series and the 2123 series for heavier door weights. Across this section, Metrol supplies the access hardware. Selecting the correct fastener turns on three variables: panel thickness, cutout dimensions and the access-control requirement (key, coin, padlock or tool-free operation). Where a series number is visible on the existing lock body, that reference is the most direct route to a matching replacement. For any fitment question where the original reference has worn away or is unknown, use Ask Simon on the relevant product page for an instant fitment check. PartsForMachines lists this range as Authorised Distributor and Seller, with parts sourced through official channels. For quantities, unavailable references or project requirements, contact the team by WhatsApp 07754288583 or email [email protected].
