The Button-fix™ Type 2 Compact Drop-down Bracket is the industry-leading solution for invisible panel mounting where temporary removal and secure, precise fixing are paramount. Specifically designed for applications requiring a drop-down action, this bracket allows panels to be lifted and detached for maintenance, access, or replacement, then securely re-fixed with a simple downward movement and an audible 'click'.
This pack of 100 brackets is ideal for professional joiners, furniture manufacturers, exhibition stand builders, and commercial fit-out specialists looking for a high-volume, reliable, and cost-effective hidden fixing system.
Invisible Panel Fixing: Achieves a completely hidden mounting solution, ensuring a clean, modern aesthetic for architectural and interior design projects.
Compact Design: The smaller footprint of the Type 2 Compact bracket is perfect for applications where space is limited or where a less bulky panel thickness is preferred.
Drop-down Action: Uniquely engineered to allow panels to be lifted (dropped down from the wall/frame) for quick and easy access to services, wiring, or maintenance areas. The best choice for removable access panels.
Load Bearing & Secure: Provides a strong, reliable, and rattle-free connection, holding panels firmly in place.
Easy Installation: Simplifies complex panel installations. Can be fixed using screws, rivets, or adhesive, making it versatile for various substrates (wood, MDF, metal, composite).
High-Volume Value: A bulk pack of 100 ensures you have enough components for large projects or continuous production runs, offering excellent value per unit.
| Feature | Detail |
| Product | Button-fix™ Type 2 - Compact Drop-down Bracket (Female component) |
| Quantity | 100 Brackets (Male Button components sold separately) |
| Fixing Method | Screw or Adhesive (Fixings not included) |
| Material | Durable, high-strength engineering polymer |
| Panel Action | Drop-down (Lift-off/Lift-up) for temporary removal |
| Typical Use | Access panels, removable wall cladding, ceiling tiles, modular furniture, display stands |
A: This specific bracket is primarily used for securing removable access panels (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical access), lift-off wall cladding, and modular display units. Its drop-down function allows easy temporary removal, making it the ideal hidden fixing for maintenance access.
A: No, this pack contains 100 Type 2 Compact Drop-down Brackets only (the female component). The compatible male component, the Button-fix™ Button, must be purchased separately. This allows you to mix and match button types (e.g., standard, self-tapping) based on your panel material and thickness.
A: The drop-down mechanism is key for secure yet temporary panel installation. Unlike standard fixings, this system allows the panel to be simply lifted straight up off the button and then securely re-engaged by dropping it back down—a crucial feature for quick access and re-installation without damaging surrounding trim or structure.
A: Yes, the Button-fix™ system is engineered from a high-strength polymer and provides a robust, professional-grade hold. It is widely regarded as a heavy-duty panel mounting solution capable of supporting substantial loads when correctly installed.
Optimise your professional installations with the reliability and convenience of Button-fix™. Order your Pack of 100 Button-fix™ Type 2 - Compact Drop-down Brackets today and experience the ultimate in seamless, secure, and accessible panel mounting.
