LOCK ASSEMBLY DOOR FMD-5

Doors are common in restaurant equipment design from refrigerators and freezers, to ovens to ice machines. A door is a hinged or otherwise movable panel that allows access to an enclosure, cabinet, bin, or other cavity or container.  A door assembly comprises the components that work in tandem to allow the door to function properly such as the door set, strike, catch and lock set. Doors may be hinged and swing open and closed, or they may slide within a frame. Very frequently, restaurant equipment doors feature tempered glass windows which allow for visual inspection or merchandising of food and beverage products.

FMD means "Flow Measurement Device" or "Fresh Mix Dispenser".

Parts of a lock assembly include a cylinder or lock body, where a key is inserted. When locked, the cylinder engages a series of spring-loaded pins that keep the cylinder from turning. When a key is inserted, the uneven edge pushes the pins upward to fit the key’s height in that location within the lock body. Essentially, it recognizes the correct key when the pins move into their proper places. This “opens” the cylinder, allowing the bolt to move, and you to open the lock. The lock engages a piece of metal or plastic that extends from the door into the receiver and holds it closed. In addition, a lock assembly may include mounting components, brackets, washers and bolts.
