Over-Centre Fastener Design
- The fastener operates by pulling the hook into tension as the handle is moved into the closed position. Once it passes over centre, the mechanism remains securely closed until the handle is deliberately released.
- This makes it particularly useful where a panel, tailgate or door needs to be held firmly closed while remaining easy to open without removing bolts or other permanent fasteners.

Signs the Toggle Fastener Needs Replacing
