3M™ Dual Lock™ Reclosable Fasteners
3M™ Dual Lock™ Reclosable Fasteners are a great alternative to traditional fastening methods like screws, nuts, and bolts. Closures are strong, reliable, and yet easily removable without the use of tools. The interlocking mushroom shaped heads allow for easy repositioning and the audible snap from the positive closure identifies that the fastener has engaged. Best of all the strong, durable fastener provides invisible, yet removable attachment. With multiple adhesive options these products are durable both indoor and outdoor.
