Snap/push fittings for lids and panels

[d000hg]

I'm sure I've seen these but cannot find them online. Picture a 2 part metal snap fitting. The female part recessed into a frame. The male part attached onto a lid or revocable wooden panel, sort of like a metal dowel. It takes a bit of force to get it to snap in or out.

I've seen similar things where the housing has two bearings or something that are pushed apart... Can't find them either. Not as ideal for me but any help tracking down either or other similar things greatly appreciated.

Twin roller catch, maybe?

Huh, you can't link to Screwfix anymore?!

Anyway, those sort of things are probably what I'm describing as the 'slightly less good' option - thanks. I still cannot find anything where the 'socket' part can be recessed.

Are these what we are talking about?

Those are what SF have John. What I'm track to track down are a round pin that locks into a cylinder - so you can recess it into the frame.

One example I just remembered and can find a photo of are castors on wheelie chairs: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Office-Chair-Caster-Wheels-Replacement/dp/B01CTIG4GE. That's the idea of what I'm looking for as a general push-catch-thing.

Ah, the snap ring system....best of luck with that one, I can't say I've come across those as a kit anywhere.

KEKU fastenings, from Hafele and their distributors (such as Quasar in Ashton under Lyne, Manchester - Ironmongery Direct have them in their catalogue, too). Standard fixing method for panels in shop fitting, bar and restaurant fitting, etc as well as for panels in IPS systems (Integrated Panel System - the laminated panels you see in public building toilets, changing rooms, etc). There are two main types push fit/snap on and drop-on/hook.

To get on the SF site I always go direct rather than using a link that someone posts.
As a tip, once you get onto the home page of SF save it in your favourites and access it from there.
I've never had any trouble getting on their site but I do with B&Q, Wickes, Homebase etc as I don't have them in favourites.
