Novameta Z-FUDS Sliding-Door Shelf Lock

A lock for modular shelving units with sliding doors keeps the doors closed when the unit is moved or when the kitchen is in full service. The mechanism engages with a simple turn, securing the door panel against the frame so it cannot slide open. This prevents spills, breakage or loss of contents during transport between storage and work areas, or when the unit is bumped during busy service.

The lock is fitted to the door frame or to the sliding track, depending on the shelf design. Once installed, the operator turns the key or lever to move a bolt or catch into a matching slot on the opposite side. The door is then held firmly in place until the lock is released. No tools are required for daily use; the action is a single turn that can be performed while the unit is fully loaded.

Novameta Z-FUDS is designed for modular shelving systems. It is compatible with standard sliding-door configurations found in professional kitchens, where shelves are assembled from interchangeable panels and tracks. The lock is installed during shelf assembly and remains in place for the life of the unit, requiring no adjustment once fitted.

Cleaning is limited to wiping the external surfaces with a damp cloth to remove dust or grease. The lock mechanism itself is not exposed to food or liquids, so no disassembly is needed for routine upkeep.

The product is listed in the Novameta catalogue under Shelving Accessories, alongside tracks, handles and panel connectors.
