Your quick-access hardware doesn’t have to be unsightly!  It used to be that if you wanted something quick and easy, it meant sacrificing good looks.  Not any more!  Southco now offers a simple, economical bail cover that makes your Dzus™ Quarter-Turn fasteners look sharp, and even makes them more comfortable to use.

This one (shown on the left) is designed for the #82 bail head quarter turns.  Part no. 82-2-B-000.  Available from stock in black!  This particular cover should fit on any Southco #82 series bail head stud.  Got some already in service?  No problem!  No tools required for installation, just slip them on and you’re done.  No more ugly fasteners! 

OK, so we sell bolts, captive fasteners and specialty captive screws.  Do we have the one you need, the one your customers need?  Now you can find out!  If, by chance we DON’T have what you need, it’s easy to add it to our “in-stock products”  list.  Just use our Contact Form to let us know what you’re using and how often you need them.  We’ll take care of the rest!

Steeves Agencies carries a wide range of captive fasteners. Why use captive fasteners?

• They never get lost!  Captive fasteners remain attached to your panel or door whether they're fastened or not, making them ideal for doors or panels that are frequently removed.
• They are easy to use!  Some are threaded, others use a "quarter-turn" to latch and unlatch.  It's never been easier to secure a panel
• They offer more choices!  Captive fasteners come in a range of varieties- any thread, any stud length, any installation style (press-in, thread in, snap-in), and now, any COLOR!

When selecting a captive fastener for your project, you should consider these things:

• • The nature of the application:  Is it outdoors, where it might be exposed to harsh weather or corrosive elements?
  • Any access restrictions or code requirements:  if access to your enclosure must be limited (for CSA approved products) then perhaps a tool-operated fastener would be necessary.  We have many options to suit those needs
  • Ease of use:  if finger access is required (no keys or special tools) then you might need a fasteners with a knurled head.

Anything's possible!  Here are some examples of fasteners we can supply, all from Southco, the world's leading manufacturer of access hardware!  Call us today for more information.
