Self Adhesive Twist Locks
Self adhesive twist locks are tool-free cable management fasteners designed to secure and route wires, cables and small tubes without drilling holes or using mechanical fixings. They feature a flat square mounting plate with a self-adhesive backing that bonds to smooth surfaces, combined with curved twin arms that twist closed to form a retaining loop around the cable bundle.
What are self adhesive twist locks?
Self adhesive twist locks consist of a square adhesive base, often fitted with foam tape, which is pressed onto clean, smooth surfaces such as plastic housings, metal panels and painted enclosures. The flexible curved twin arms are then twisted together to create a closed loop that holds cables, wires or light tubing securely in place.
Also known as purse lock clips, these fasteners can be easily opened and closed by hand, allowing cables to be added, removed or repositioned without tools. This makes them ideal for installations where ongoing maintenance, changes or upgrades are expected.
Self adhesive twist locks are also known as adhesive cable clips, self-adhesive wire holders, stick-on cable retainers or adhesive mount cable clamps. The term purse lock clips is also commonly used to describe their twist-close retaining design.
