Problems It Solves

- Latch arms cast in section rather than thinned to save material
- Inner width matched to standard webbing widths from 10 mm up to 50 mm
Application Scenarios

- Backpack sternum and waist strap closures
- Fashion belt closures
- Safety and name belts where a quick release is required
Who It Is For
- Pet brands moving a collar line up from plastic hardware
- Bag and backpack factories needing a metal quick release
