3M™ Dual Lock™
3M3M™ Dual Lock™ industrial fasteners provide an appealing high tensile strength to replace mechanical fasteners in many applications. These fasteners are versatile and can be fabricated to meet many design specifications. When 3M™ Dual Lock™ Reclosable Fasteners are pressed together, hundreds of mushroom-shaped stems interlock with one another forming a "positive" engaged fastener. A mechanical "click" ensures engagement.
