A reclosable system to replace unsightly mechanical fasteners
 

3M™ Dual Lock™ Reclosable Fasteners invisibly attach access doors and panels, signs, display components, and many other frequently removed parts. When the mushroom-shaped stems interlock, tensile strength is high enough to replace mechanical fasteners in many applications. Yet, you can readily open and close Dual Lock fasteners hundreds of times. Depending on your application, select either plain-backed or adhesive-backed versions. Adhesive-backed versions are available for bonding to bare or painted metal, wood, glass, many plastics including plasticized vinyl, and more.

 
     
 

Change show booth panels – For fast assembly, panels and fixtures are readily assembled in a booth with 3M™Dual Lock™ Reclosable Fasteners. An audible “snap” announces that the fastener is engaged and the graphic panel is secured in place. Breakdown is equally fast and convenient.

 
     
 
 
 

Secure, stable attachment: 3M™Dual Lock™ Reclosable Fastener secures a document holder to the side of a PC monitor. When not in use, the holder simply snaps off for storage.

 

Quick snap access: For convenient access to wiring in moveable office partitions, 3M™Dual Lock™ Reclosable Fasteners attach metal cover plates over wiring channels.

 

Weather resistance: With a 3M™Dual Lock™ Reclosable Fastener, a vinyl golf cart enclosure simply snaps in place. The fastening withstands wind and moisture, and is hidden for clean design.

B – Clear Polyethylene film with Red 3M (3.4 mil) LSE – Low Surface Energy
 
     
 

Type refers to approximate stems per square inch on one side of the fastener. Type 400, for example, is 400 stems/square inch. You can mix different types as indicated below. Closure strength increases with the total number of stems that interlock.

Closure Strength:

250/400 > 250/250 >_ 170/400 >170/250
