A dead front panel is designed to obscure the view of circuitry or devices while offering a cosmetically pleasing mounting surface. In a designer's view, the dead front panel can represent the cover of the enclosure that will now rest beneath a clear hinged door. This emphasizes the importance of full clear window fronts and fully clear covers. Stahlin produces a top quality design, inclusive of spring loaded releasable hinges that make component mounting and panel assembly a very simple task. When properly installed, the panel is securely fixed to the sidewall of the enclosure. This means that load bearing weights are distributed throughout the assembly. The hinged suspended panel swings out of the way to provide full access to a panel or PC board mounting.
