Front Drawer Release (FDR) System

Innovative, flexible, and convenient, Austin Hardware’s patented Front Drawer Release (FDR) System is the ultimate example of the ingenuity of Genesis™ products. This revolutionary system checks all the boxes, allowing for ultra-convenient one-handed operation while remaining secure.

The FDR was designed to address a common challenge our customers face in their respective industries. We know it can be tricky to find a product on the market that secures heavy-duty drawers with a latch system in moving vehicles while ensuring they remain easily accessible to occupants. The FDR solves this problem with its one-handed operation and latching functionality, ensuring secure positioning in both the fully closed and fully open states.
