Master high-tension projects with the DOT® Pull-The-DOT® One-Way Locking Kit. This industrial-grade, nickel-plated brass system ensures your covers stay secure, opening only from one side for unparalleled peace of mind.
Description
Imagine a heavy-duty boat cover or a high-tension enclosure that stays exactly where you put it, regardless of the wind or weight pulling against it. The DOT® Pull-The-DOT® One-Way Locking Kit provides that exact level of professional-grade security. This isn't just a snap; it’s a specialized mechanical fastener designed for high-stress applications. The "one-way" engineering ensures that the connection remains rock-solid until you intentionally release it from a specific side, providing a crisp, worry-free finish that feels as robust as it looks.
Why the Engineering Matters
Standard snaps can fail when fabric tension hits a critical angle. This kit solves that frustration through a legacy of technical precision. The stud features a thin waist and a unique octagonal base that locks the socket securely on three sides. Constructed from premium nickel-plated brass with a 3/8" integrated stainless steel screw, this hardware offers unparalleled resistance to corrosion. It’s a streamlined solution for cloth-to-surface projects where failure is not an option.
What Makes This Kit Special?
-
True One-Way Security: The socket features an internal ramped edge and an external protrusion, creating a mechanical lock that only disengages when pulled from the correct side.
-
Industrial Durability: Features a self-tapping Phillips head screw, optimized for a permanent, secure bite into wood or fiberglass.
-
High-Tension Resilience: Specifically designed for covers and enclosures where fabric is stretched tight or placed at difficult angles.
-
Professional Grade: The embossed DOT® trademark cap provides a classic, high-end aesthetic used by professionals worldwide.
Applications & Specifications
-
Ideal for: Marine covers, jeep tops, equipment enclosures, and heavy-duty tonneau covers.
-
Surface Compatibility: Pre-drill for best results in wood and fiberglass.
-
Material: Nickel-plated brass components with a stainless steel screw.

Expert Note: To achieve true "one-way" functionality, install the socket so the protrusion faces the side you want to release easily. For a professional touch, use a center punch to create a small dimple in the button cap directly over that protrusion. When you need to open it, simply "Pull-the-DOT."
