King Chain Galvanized Security Snap
Spring-gate snap hooks in a galvanized finish, in three lengths from 2 in. to 4 in. The gate closes under spring tension so the snap stays on a ring, and opens with one thumb.
Safe working load (SWL) is 230 kg (506 lb.). Never exceed the SWL.
- Three lengths: 2 in., 3-1/8 in. and 4 in.
- Galvanizing is what makes these worth choosing over a plated snap outdoors
- Plated snaps rust at the spring first, and a seized gate is a snap that no longer works
- Spring gate, one-thumb operation
- 230 kg (506 lb.) safe working load
Questions
Which size do I need?
Match the snap to the ring or link it clips onto. A snap that is too small will not close over the ring; too large and it rattles and wears.
Is it load rated?
Yes, 230 kg (506 lb.) safe working load. Never exceed the SWL.
Why galvanized?
It survives outdoors. Plated snaps corrode at the spring and the gate seizes.
How do I keep the gate working?
Rinse off grit and give the spring a shot of light oil once a season.
