Troubleshooting
Fastener is stiff or difficult to open/close
Ensure there are no obstructions or fabric caught in the mechanism. Gently try to work the mechanism back and forth. If still stiff, a tiny drop of lubricant (like silicone-based) might help, applied carefully to the pivot point.
Fastener does not stay closed
Check that the clasp mechanism is fully engaged. If the internal spring or catch appears damaged or worn, the fastener may need to be replaced.
Gunmetal finish is dulling or scratching
Polish gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid contact with harsh chemicals, perfumes, or abrasive surfaces. For minor scratches, a metal polish designed for gunmetal finishes may be used sparingly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Prym Swivel Clip Fasteners, they typically need to be attached to your project material, often involving sewing or specialized attachment methods depending on the specific application. Compatibility is best with materials like fabric, leather, or thick felt, commonly used in bag making or crafting. Ensure the material is sturdy enough to support the fastener without tearing. For care, clean the fasteners with a soft, dry cloth to maintain their gunmetal finish. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the surface. If attaching via sewing, use a strong thread suitable for the material and fastener placement.
