Our Snap fasteners include a Nylon option that is flame-rated UL94 V2, and an option that features a Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) female washer that comes with a Polypropylene (PP) male clip.
The rivet assembly includes the male clip and the female washer that are used to join two surfaces together. They are an ideal choice for corrugated panels.
Quarter Turn Panel Fasteners engage receptacles and are fastened by turning the stud about 90 degrees - a process known as a 'quarter-turn rotation'. The fastener provides a predictable holding force and offers a detent in locked position that resists opening in error. A solution that is quick, but secure in its assembly. They are a fast fastener that provide a permanent mounting solution. An ideal choice, suitable for security panels and components that need to be replaced in a hurry.
To install and remove; Use a flat-head screwdriver or a coin and give the fastener a quarter-turn. This releases the bottom panel while retaining the fastener in the removable panel. Alternatively, drive the plunger into the grommet with a hammer that locks two panels together.

Durable Acetal push-in dowel pin.
This Push In Rivet is a type of panel fastener designed for optimal assembly and removal for a range of applications, particularly those that require regular maintenance, as well as fast assembly and removal.
This "T" style rivet features a knob-shaped rivet head that is easy to grasp, and will improve operator comfort. The rivet benefits from a simple push-push design and requires no installation tools. This easy and effective push-pull design allows for the rivet to snap in and out of the application up to 25 times - making it a highly economical and reusable solution. This also significantly speeds up the installation and disassembly.
Push In Rivet has a bevelled head design. The bevel design helps facilitates efficient assembly and removal.
The rivet is installed by quickly and easily inserting it into the work piece. Press down on the pin, which engages the "H-shaped" grommet. Once the pin is inserted into the grommet, the grommet legs expand and lock the rivet assembly firmly into position. Once the rivet assembly is installed, the head of the pin protrudes from the panel surface, but gives a nice clean and finished look nonetheless.
Tough Rivets have a quick and easy push-fit design. They have a one-piece design with a pre-driven pin that allows the rivet to be quickly installed by hand, or with automatic equipment. They can be easily removed by pulling the pin from the grommet.
Our range of Tough Rivets are suitable for applications requiring a push-in, front-mounted (blind-side fixing) fastener, which can be removed and reused. The rivets provide that and more! They also benefit from strong vibration resistance and are a solid choice for lightweight applications.
The rivet has a robust design that stays tough in its structure, but still provides a clean and tidy finish. These rivets are strong, reliable and are a highly economical choice.
Countersunk Rivets are used in countersunk holes and other applications that require a flat finish. Their design allows them to sit flush to a surface, meaning the rivet head will not protrude once installed. They are ideal for sliding track applications.
These rivets also benefit from a tamper resistant design and they are able to accommodate countersunk hole specification DIN ISO 7721.
Folding Leg Push-In Rivets have a foldable leg design that provides a secure grip for a range of applications and materials.
Pushing the pin into the rivet body causes the legs to expand outwards, allowing them to get a firm grip on the material in the assembly. The rivet legs expand to a distance of 0.730 inches.
This expansion allows the rivet to cover a larger surface area, but as a result has a weaker tensile strength. This makes these rivets more suited to thinner applications, such as cardboard boxes and other porous materials. Once installed, the rivet cannot be removed from the outside of the box.
Removable Push-In Rivets, also known as Releasable Rivets, comprise of a two part assembly; a pin and a grommet.The range includes options where the pin and grommet are provided unassembled or provided fully assembled.
Easy to install - they can be easily snapped into position by hand. The Removable Rivet is conveniently removed by simply retracting the pin, and then the grommet. This useful design is optimal for blind-side fixing.
These rivets can be used in a round or rectangular hole. When installed in a rectangular hole, rotation is prevented.
Fir Tree Rivet that features a double ended design; allowing for the blind fixing of two panels from the center, so that no fastener head is visible.
The simple design allows the rivet to be pressed neatly into position and provides a clean finish to your application. Ideal for joining and securing soft sheet materials, such as; board, rubber and secondary panels.
More durable than using adhesive, provides high pull out loads and they are quick and easy to install by hand.
Fir Tree Push-In Rivets, have ribbed shanks that are angled to slide into an assembly with ease, and prevent pull out. The fir tree design ensures fast and easy installation, while securely holding a range of materials, including; wood, metal, foam, rubber and plastics.When the rivets are pushed into a hole, the flexible ribs deflect and then spring back to lock securely in place.
