Weight the end user notices
Aluminium runs at roughly a third the weight of a steel equivalent, which is why packs, bottles and lanyards use it.

Product Overview
What the A-1 Is
The A-1 is a aluminium spring hook produced by Honke Hardware in Longyan City, Fujian Province, China. It is made in Aluminium and finished by red, blue, purple and further colours to reference. Sizes are custom size on request.
It belongs to the aluminium hooks range, which covers 8 items. Aluminium carabiners weigh a fraction of a steel hook and take bright anodised colour, which is why they dominate camping, bag and promotional gift programmes. Honke produces D shape, pear shape, flat, jumbo and compass lanyard versions.
Design is handled as OEM & ODM work, so dimensions, colour and marking can be set against your drawing or your existing sample rather than taken from a fixed list.
Key Benefits
Why Buyers Specify This Item
Colour inside the surface
Anodising converts the surface rather than coating it, so the colour survives abrasion in a way sprayed finishes do not.
Colour matching for seasonal ranges
Colour is handled as OEM work against your reference rather than picked from a fixed stock list.
Samples before you commit
Free samples available with freight prepaid by the buyer. Sample approval sets the reference for the production run.

- Formed parts are checked against the approved sample before they move to finishing
- Gate return, swivel action and thread fit are checked at the assembly bench
- Cartons are checked against the packing and label format agreed for your market
Certificates and Reports
Documentation requirements differ by market, by buyer and by part. Rather than publish a claim that may not apply to this item, tell us which documents your customer requires and we will confirm in writing what we can supply for the A-1 before you place the order.

Use Guide
Fitting and Caring for the A-1
- Confirm the grade before you order. A polished part gives no visual clue to its material, so put Aluminium on the purchase order line rather than only in the email thread.
- Match the size to the mating part. Sizes here are custom size on request, so measure the rope, chain, webbing or thread the item has to work with before you specify.
- Keep the material family consistent. Where this item sits in a permanently wet joint with another metal, use the same family throughout to avoid galvanic reaction.
- Load it in the direction it was designed for. Connecting hardware loses capacity sharply when pulled off axis. Where load direction varies, choose a body shape made for it.
- Rinse and operate moving parts. Gates, swivels and threads seize when salt is left to dry in them. Fresh water and regular operation is most of the maintenance.
- Replace rather than repair. A gate that no longer springs shut or a thread that will not seat is retired, not adjusted.
