  • Description

    The Malco FSHS2 Standing Seam Hand Seamer is designed for closing both the first-stage (90°) and second-stage (180°) locks on 2″ mechanical lock standing seam panels. Built for field durability, this hand seamer provides precise seam engagement while protecting painted finishes.

    Replaceable PVC inserts prevent scratching coated panels, while integrated rubber grommets reduce slippage during seam closing. The upright handle position improves leverage and control, making this tool ideal for detail work, touch-ups, and jobsite seam correction.

    The FSHS2 pairs perfectly with Malco’s power-assisted seamer to complete mechanical seam installations efficiently.

Malco FSHS2 Standing Seam Hand Seamer – 2″ Mechanical Lock

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a special technique for clean seam closure?

For best results:

  • Ensure the first-stage bend is straight and properly formed.
  • Apply even pressure along the seam.
  • Work progressively down the seam rather than forcing the entire length at once.

This prevents rippling and ensures tight, uniform closure.

Can this tool be used instead of a power seamer?

Yes. These seamers can fully close mechanical lock seams manually. However, many contractors use them in combination with a power seamer for increased speed on large roof areas, while using the hand seamer for:

  • Eaves
  • Ridge transitions
  • Tight spaces
  • Repairs

Will this hand seamer scratch painted metal panels?

No. Both FSHS and FSHS2 models feature replaceable PVC jaw inserts that protect painted or coated panels from scratching during seam closure. Rubber grommets also help prevent slipping while applying pressure.

What stage of mechanical lock seam does this tool close?

Both FSHS and FSHS2 are designed to close first-stage (90°) and second-stage (180°) mechanical lock seams by hand. This allows contractors to fully close mechanical lock standing seam panels without needing a power seamer.

What is the maximum material thickness for the FSHS2?

The FSHS2 is rated for:

  • Steel: up to 22 gauge
  • Stainless steel: up to 24 gauge
  • Aluminum: up to .040″
  • Copper: up to 20 oz
  • Zinc: up to 1 mm

This makes it better suited for heavier commercial applications.
