World hand drier
Had occasion to take one of these apart the other day, it had fallen (or
was pushed) off the wall of the ladies in a local nightclub. This one; http://www.direct365.co.uk/supplies/...ual-hand-dryer I can see why they cost so much! Cover is a one piece casting secured by 2 torx security screws underneath - I finally got to use that security bit set I bought 4 years ago! I knew it would come in handy! I expected the large chrome button to have electrical connections attached, but it didn't - its a spring loaded push rod that hits a microswitch. Back plate is also a one piece casting, easy enough to re secure using the right plugs. Inside the top of the cover were two blind holes & I expected to see 2 studs on top of the backplate for it to hook over - but nothing that simple. Each side of the backplate is a spring loaded rod & when the torx screws are done up underneath, they contact the bottom of the rods & push them up into the holes under the cover. Seems unnecessarily complicated to me. Why not 2 studs? -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |
