The Quadrant frame can be either round or faceted: and a square version is also now available. The knuckle joint is easy to assemble, and exceptionally rigid.

Case Lighting

Spotlights. These adjustable-head low voltage lamps take standard 20W metal reflector 48mm 64 base bulbs, and are fixed to the inside of the frame.

Fluorescent. The tube is fitted to the inside of the top front rail, and house in an unobtrusive alumininium shade which matches the frame.

Downlighters. These lamps are fitted to a soffit panel in the fascia section, take standard 20W MR16 dichroic reflector bulbs, and are adjustable for angle and direction.

Introducing Quadrant
A better way to build a showcase

Quadrant is a cabinet-building frame system based on a 30mm frame section and a unique two-part knuckle-joint. Introduced in 1974 as part of the Click range, it is now used worldwide. Easy to put together, exceptionally strong and rigid, and elegantly detailed - it's arguably the best showcase system of its kind.

How to find the design you need
To the lower left of the page you'll see a Quadrant menu showing the main types of design -Towers, Counters, etc. - and for each type you'll find a range of variants. Each variant, in turn, is available in a range of sizes. Follow the links to see the options - or choose the Overview option to see all the design types on a single page. If you don't find a size that's right for you, it may be possible to customise the unit at minimal extra cost: ask for a price.

Choose your details
Once you've chosen a design, there are three selections to be made before your specification is final: Frame Shape, Finish, and Fittings. These choices need to be clearly indicated in your order or enquiry.

Decide a purchase method
You can either buy your unit as a Hardware Kit (i.e. just the aluminium and plastic sections and fittings) and assemble it yourself using your own sources of glass and panels; or you can order a complete, assembled unit, to be delivered ready for use. If you choose the hardware kit, it will come straight from the factory, normally within 2 weeks of ordering. The finished unit will come via one of our approved assemblers (we do not normally handle panels ourselves) and will take a little longer. Firm delivery dates can be quoted at the time of ordering.

Need more information or advice?
If you don't find what you need here, but think the Click hardware you've seen might be the basis of a good solution, then please talk to us. If it's been done before, then we'll know how to do it again. We will, in any case, tell you whether we think it can be done, whether it's worth doing, and how much design-development cost might be involved. No obligation, of course. There's no limit to the creative possibilities offered by these system components, and it's our job to help you make the most of them.

Some technical & design aspects

Glazing options
Glazing beads are available for either 6mm or 4mm material. The default specification is 6mm annealed glass: but 4mm toughened can be subsituted for reduced weight and greater safety. 6.4mm laminated glass can be used for higher security.

Plastic sections
Glazing beads, sliding door track and flanges for hinged glass doors are in plastic, and come in dark grey or black. Grey is the default, and is supplied unless black is specifically requested.

Specification for timber infills
The standard thickness for timber infills is 12mm. Popular materials are melamine-faced or laminate-finished boards - but veneers, paint finishes or fabric facings can also be used.

Plinths
The standard timber plinth is 100mm high, made in 18mm ply, and finished in black laminate. The integral LF levellers provide up to 30mm of adjustment, and act as corner joints for the plinth panels.

Doors and Locks
Doors used in apertures with a width of 750mm or less are hinged; in apertures wider than 750mm, doors are sliding. All doors are lockable. Unless specified otherwise, locks for hinged doors are keyed alike to a standard pattern for which keys are available from stock. Locks for sliding doors are individually keyed.

Case Lighting
Most design types allow for lighting, and either fluorescent or low-voltage tungsten is available. The fittings (see left) are designed for optimum performance in showcases, and can be ordered individually. Some cases come with lighting as standard.

Group combinations and lateral linking
The standard specifications are based on stand-alone use, with glazing on all four faces. But where units are used in groups, they may need to be joined physically together. If so, the following adaptations can be made:

1. Substitute a single timber panel for the existing infills in each lateral face.
2. Introduce an 18mm spacer panel to provide a 10mm gap;
3. Bolt the adjacent panels together (special bolts can be supplied for this purpose).

To help visualise group dimensions, plan shapes can be drawn up with with a 300mm grid superimposed - see left. Note however that when units are linked with spacers (see above) the overall width of a group will exceed the nominal total by 10mm per junction.

Power Feed.
Unless specified otherwise, the power feed for lighting is provided via 3m of cable, emerging at left back of the base. (This point is a construction detail and thus not applicable to hardware kits.)
