GSF Takes Slam Lock To Market

GSF is the UK's leading supplier of telescopic ball bearing slides and slide & tilt systems. With a complete range of slides, linear rails and tool mounting brackets GSF products are used extensively in the fire, defence, aero and marine industries

In becoming one of the largest suppliers of sliding systems in the UK, GSF made a commitment to constantly evolve and develop it's ranges in line with the needs and expectations of the Fire, Defence, Police and Ambulance industries. GSF are therefore delighted to announce the introduction of their latest development: the Draw-front, Push-button Slam-lock (DPS) as a new product in the GSF Vehicle Component Range.

"Most push button slam locks sold in this country come as kits, which the brigades have to fit themselves," commented Tony Macis, GSF UK Sales Director. "We manufacture ours on site to compliment our Slide and Tilt Systems, but we also sell them individually, machine-tooled, to fit our customers requirements."

The lock itself is a double handled push button mechanism, designed to not only be used by a gloved hand, but opens instantaneously when needed. Fitted to the centre of the draw the GSF DPS mechanism locks draws fast and because they are made from steel they will not corrode. By using steel we can also trim the locks to length allowing the new system to be fitted to a broad range of draw models and makes.

"The uptake has been really positive and our products are by far and away more cost effective than our competitors' products," confirmed Tony. "But quite a part from the cost aspect, customers can now have their draws and locks supplied by the same company, making the procurement of draw fronts, slam lock mechanisms and Slide and Tilt Systems, more efficient all round."
