Snap Lock Pins
Our Snap Lock Pins are a simple and effective push-fit fastening solution, designed to securely join panels and lightweight components without the need for screws, bolts, or tools. Ideal for production environments and on-site installations, these fasteners offer a quick, clean and professional fixing method across a wide range of applications.
Manufactured from high-quality PA66 (Nylon 66), these pins provide excellent strength, durability and resistance to wear, making them suitable for both commercial and industrial use.
How to use and install Snap Lock Pins
These Snap Lock Pins are installed by pushing the shank into a pre-drilled hole. During insertion, the flexible legs compress before expanding on the reverse side of the panel to create a secure locking hold. This design ensures reliable retention while still allowing removal if required for maintenance or replacement.
