New Flush Mounting Frames For OKW Designer Plastic Enclosures

OKW has extended its unique interface-terminal plastic enclosures range with new accessory kits that allow them to be fitted flush in walls or control panels.

It follows increased demand for specialized electronics enclosures for luxury homes, museums, hospitals, government buildings, military installations, factories and laboratories.

The new wall/panel installation kits consist of four holding brackets which are fitted to the rear of the enclosure and are used to mount the assembly in the wall/panel aperture.

A flush fitting design frame then snaps on to the holding brackets to give a very attractive and professional appearance, hiding the aperture and assembly screws underneath.

These kits are ideal for applications where there are very high architectural standards – or in historically important buildings where concealing electronic equipment is very important.

To assist with this, OKW offers the installation kits in three options: 

  •     off-white to match the standard enclosure color
  •     painted to match the building’s color scheme
  •     water transfer printing – such as wood finish – to suit an historic building or traditional office decor.

These installation kits are designed for the basic interface-terminal enclosure configurations which consist of a flat or high bottom part fitted with any of the front panel/cover options.

Interface-terminal is one of OKW’s most versatile ranges. They can be used as handheld enclosures – with or without a battery compartment – or for desktop or wall mount enclosure applications.

Their ergonomic design means operators can carry them with them and connect them to docking stations in offices and vehicles for charging and data transfer.

Basic interface-terminal plastic electronics enclosures are available in three standard plan sizes of 5.31” x 7.48”, 6.50” x 8.86” and 7.68” x 10.83”. Heights vary from 1.04” to 1.83”, depending on the bottom/front section configuration selected. Prices start at $25.

In addition to the frame finishes, OKW can also supply interface-terminal as custom enclosures with additional holes for the push-buttons, connectors and displays; RFI shielding and silk-screen printed legends and logos.

OKW Enclosures, Inc, Vice President, Sales, Sean Bailey, said: “The new flush mounting frames take interface-terminal beyond offices and factories and make them ideal for luxury homes, hospitals, museums and historic buildings.

“Designers looking to specify high quality housings for their electronics will benefit from the huge range of custom colors available for the enclosures and new frames.”
