HTAN is one of the leading manufacturers of industrial hinges, handles and latches in China.
Recent industrial hardware design projects demonstrate a clear trend: the design of equipment cases is undergoing a transformation from ‘bulky and single-function’ to ‘compact and modular In the past, engineers often considered…
Why do IP65/IP67 cabinets degrade in protection rating over time? The root cause lies in a fundamental misjudgment of hinge function. For high-protection outdoor designs, hinges must be redefined not just as…
In my decade of industrial design consulting, I have participated in countless failure analysis meetings for equipment breakdowns. These range from heavy-duty trucks operating on freezing interstate highways to constant temperature and…
In a decade of troubleshooting outdoor cabinets, I’ve seen expensive systems ruined by a single $5 component. This proves that proper heavy-duty hinge selection is critical to preventing cabinet door sag and…
In over a decade of industrial site audits, I have visited countless commercial rooftops and basement mechanical rooms. I have observed a common and frustrating phenomenon: improper hardware selection turns simple maintenance…
Figure 1. Real-world example of catastrophic hinge failure leading to cabinet door detachment and internal module damage. In industrial hardware procurement, the heavy-duty hinge is a critical component. If a heavy-duty hinge…
Choosing the right paddle latches for a sheet-metal door requires more than matching sizes—it depends on door structure, reinforcement, drilling accuracy, and compliance with safety standards. Understanding how the door is built…
Many outdoor equipment failures aren’t caused by the enclosure itself, but by the often-overlooked “small handle.”Water ingress in power boxes, corrosion in communication cabinets, RV doors popping open during driving—all these issues…
Paddle latches are a type of lock commonly used on industrial enclosures and control cabinet doors. Proper installation ensures a tight seal and extends the service life of the equipment. Improper installation…
Why the Material Selection for Paddle Latches is Crucial This article is a technical procurement guide aimed at deconstructing three mainstream paddle latches materials: stainless steel, zinc alloy, and engineering plastic (For…
Industrial enclosures house sensitive electronic components, making the reliability of their door locks directly critical to enclosure security. Choosing the wrong lock can have serious consequences: poor sealing allows moisture and dust…
Introduction: Failure Scenario Analysis Consider these failure scenarios: A user opens an expensive industrial device, only for the heavy access panel to plummet uncontrollably due to insufficient damping, creating a severe pinch…
