SnapLine
Snapline technology is a smarter way to connect parts in industrial settings. Unlike traditional screws and bolts, these products simply 'snap' into place without any tools. Snapline products work like a door latch. They have special jaws with springs inside and when pushed through a hole, the jaws compress, then spring back with a snap sound, locking everything firmly in place.
There are three main types of snapline products available at FA Parkes. Fasteners allow for secure connections between components, hinges let parts swing while staying connected and handles have easy grip points that can be quickly installed or removed. These products offer several key benefits because they're surprisingly strong and just as secure as bolted connections. They work with different material thicknesses and stay locked even under heavy loads and once installed, they won't loosen, slip, twist or wobble. They also maintain electrical grounding between connected parts.
For businesses, the biggest advantage is time saving. Installation happens in seconds without any tools, which reduces assembly time and maintenance costs, and removal is equally simple when needed. Many different businesses rely on snap-line technology. Electronics manufacturers use them for equipment enclosures and control panels. Transportation companies utilise them in vehicle interiors, railway carriages and aircraft panels. Furniture makers use them for modular office systems and commercial installations, and telecommunications firms depend on them for secure equipment cabinets and junction boxes.
Snaplines can be used in almost any application that needs secure but accessible connections. They are particularly useful in environments with vibration and where traditional fasteners might loosen over time. They are often used in clean room settings where metal particles from threading screws would be a problem. Data centres use them for quick-access server racks, and industrial machinery builders incorporate them into maintenance panels that need frequent access.
