King Chain 3-1/8 in. Galvanized Security Snap, 5 Pack
A security snap is a spring-gate hook for connecting and disconnecting quickly by hand. The gate closes under spring tension so it will not fall off a ring on its own, and it opens with one thumb.
It is a convenience fitting, not rigging hardware. It has no rated working load and should not be used where failure matters.
- Five snaps per pack
- Galvanized, which suits outdoor use on gates, tarps and tie-outs where a plated snap would rust at the spring
- Spring gate closes under tension and opens with one thumb
- No rated working load
- Model 491591
Questions
Is it load rated?
No. Spring snaps are convenience fittings. Use a shackle or a rated connector where the connection carries a real load.
How many are in a pack?
Five.
Will it rust outdoors?
The galvanized finish is the right choice for outdoor use. The spring is the first part to seize, so a shot of light oil each season helps.
Can I use it on a dog run?
It is a common use. Check the gate closes fully and cleanly every time, since a sprung or gritty gate is how animals get loose.
