Full details

This large gravelly fastener from AB Tools (MPN: JAG066) is designed for securing locker doors, flaps, and is popular for mounting number plates on trailers and lorries. Its key benefit is a secure, spring-loaded locking mechanism with 360-degree rotation and positive 90-degree stops for versatile use.

How much rotation does the toggle offer?

The toggle can rotate a full 360 degrees with positive stops every 90 degrees.

Is the base plate always required?

The base plate is included to prevent scratching but is not always required. Its use depends on the mounting surface and user preference.

Can this fastener be used outdoors on a trailer?

Yes, it is designed for applications like trailer number plates and has a chrome finish for corrosion resistance, making it suitable for outdoor use.

What is the main advantage of the swivel action?

The swivel action provides flexibility in application and allows the fastener to be positioned out of the way when not in use.

Is this fastener suitable for heavy-duty applications?

Troubleshooting

Fastener is difficult to operate or swivel.

Check for obstructions or debris around the pivot point. Clean the mechanism and apply a small amount of lubricant if necessary. Ensure mounting screws are not overtightened, which can bind the mechanism.

Latch does not securely engage.

Verify that the mating catch part is properly aligned with the toggle. Ensure the toggle is fully rotated into its locked position. Check for any bending or damage to the toggle or catch mechanism.

Chrome finish appears dull or tarnished.

Clean the surface with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Dry thoroughly. For stubborn tarnish, use a dedicated chrome polish sparingly.

Fastener feels loose after installation.

Re-tighten the mounting screws or rivets. Ensure the surface it is mounted to is rigid and not flexing. If the base plate is used, confirm it is also securely attached.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the desired mounting location.
  2. Position the fastener and, if used, the included base plate.
  3. Mark mounting holes.
  4. Drill pilot holes if necessary.
  5. Secure the fastener using appropriate screws or rivets (not included).

Care:

  • Clean the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.
  • Periodically check that the spring mechanism is free from dirt and debris. A light application of lubricant may be used if the swivel action becomes stiff.
  • Ensure fixings remain tight to maintain secure mounting.
