A clasp with a trigger gate at both ends in zinc alloy or brass, at 1/2 inch inner width, in antique brass, rainbow, gold, rose gold, nickel or gunmetal. Two gates make it a coupler, so a training lead can be clipped back on itself or two dogs joined to one lead. Minimum 500 pieces.

Problems It Solves
- A leash clasp that opens under a sideways pull is a safety recall, not a quality complaint
- Nickel plating that blisters after weeks of saliva and rain is the most common pet hardware return
- Hooks sized for bags are often too light once a 30 kg dog lunges on the lead
Key Benefits
- Heavier wall sections and solid brass options for leads that carry real pulling load
- Gate geometry that closes fully against the hook nose instead of resting on the spring
- Colour range that lets a collar, lead and harness set match across three components
Application Scenarios
- Clasp ends on flat and rope dog leads
- Collar to lead junctions on harnesses
- Training leads that need a second clasp mid-length
- Cat and small pet leads where weight matters more than strength
Who It Is For
- Pet product brands building collar, lead and harness sets
- Private label pet suppliers selling into North America and Europe
- Webbing converters who assemble leads and need hardware in matched colours
How This Part Is Produced
Six steps inside one factory, from the mould to the packed carton.
Technical Features
- Zinc alloy or solid brass body depending on the pull load required
- Trigger gate with a coiled spring, or a screw gate on carabiner styles
- Swivel post rolled after assembly so the barrel cannot be pulled apart
Quality Control
- Incoming zinc, brass, iron and stainless material checked against the grade ordered
- First article from each mould compared with the approved sample before the run starts
- Dimensional check on inner width and thickness during casting and stamping
- Plating thickness and colour compared against the approved colour plate
- Spring and swivel action tested by hand on hooks, snaps and side release buckles
- Counted, bagged and cartoned with the order's own packing list
Customisation Options
- Size or inner width changed on an existing catalogue style with no mould fee
- Finish chosen from nickel, gunmetal, black nickel, gold, light gold, rose gold, antique brass and rainbow
- Logo etched or embossed where the part has a flat large enough to carry it
- Painted or enamel colour where a plated metal tone will not match the brand colour
- Free 3D design from a photo or a physical sample if you have no drawing

Photographs of This Item
Every image is a photograph of the part itself, taken from the manufacturer's own product record rather than a rendering.
Use Guide
- Choose the inner width from the webbing, then check the clasp weight against the dog size the product targets
- Pull test a sample at right angles to the gate, which is how clasps actually fail
- Specify solid brass where the product will be used in salt water or on the coast
| Compared with | What changes |
|---|---|
| Plastic side release clasp | Plastic is lighter and cheaper but has no plated finish and is easier for a dog to chew |
| Cast iron clasp | Iron costs less per piece but rusts from the inside once the plating is scratched |
| Stainless marine clip | Stainless is the corrosion benchmark but is heavy, expensive and only available in one colour |

Questions About This Item
Sizing, finish, minimum order and lead time on this part.
What Pull Load Do These Clasps Hold
We have not published a certified break load for these styles, so we do not quote one. Ask for samples and test them against your own pull specification before you approve the style.
Can I Order Solid Brass Instead of Plated Zinc
Yes. Solid brass versions of several dog hook styles are in the catalogue, and the MOQ for brass is lower because there is no colour plating step.
Ask for a Sample of the Double Head Dog Hook 1/2 Inch
Stock samples are free and you pay only the courier. Sampling time is 1 to 3 days, and we will confirm the MOQ and the plated finish in writing before production.
