Every O Rings Item We Make
A thin wire ring pulls into an oval within a season, and a sprung gate that does not close flush catches every time it passes a lining.
Problems This Category Solves

- Key rings and lanyard loops
- Webbing loops on backpacks and pet harnesses
How They Are Made
- Die cast zinc alloy or formed iron with an optional sprung gate
- Inner diameter and wire thickness both specified, because either alone can mislead
- Gate spring assembled after plating so the colour is even inside the gate
Specifying O Rings Without a Second Sample Round
- Specify inner diameter and thickness together when you request a quote
- For a hanging charm choose a sprung O ring so the end user can change it
- Check the gate closes flush against the ring before approving a batch
| Compared with | What changes |
|---|---|
| Split key ring | A split ring is cheaper but scratches leather and is awkward to open by hand |
| D ring | A D ring holds a square pull, while an O ring allows the strap to swing |
| Oval spring ring | An oval gives a longer gate opening for thick webbing while taking the same wire section |

What Is the Difference Between an O Ring and a Spring O Ring
A plain O ring is closed, so the strap has to be sewn in. A spring O ring has a sprung gate, so the end user can clip and unclip the strap or charm.
