Choosing the Right Twist-Lock Fastener Stud

Fasteners like the ones shown in the short video above are ideal for a number of DIY projects. With so many to choose from, it can sometimes be difficult to know which is the best for your specific project. But don't worry, we've created a guide to help you! Our informative blog titled, "Fastener Selection: Choosing the Right Fastener Type" (#300029XHT) will walk you through every type of fastener we sell at Sailrite and describe what applications they are best suited for.

The Twist-Lock fasteners shown in our video are often used to hold covers and enclosures in place, especially mainsail covers and dodgers, and on luggage and leather goods. They are designed specifically for wet environments. Because they have a very high profile, it's easy to locate and grab these when you need them as opposed to a snap fastener with a lower profile. The special locking mechanism of these fasteners also makes them one of the strongest types of fasteners available if you're concerned that your application accidentally may come undone during a rough storm other inclement weather.

We hope we've helped you learn more about Twist-Lock fasteners in this short blog. If you still find that you have questions, comments or concerns, feel free to reach out to us!
