Grayston Over Centre Panel Clips - Lockable

These clips are primarily used in motorsport and garage applications to securely fasten panels, boots, and tailgates, especially in high-speed or high-vibration environments.

While they offer excellent security, they are designed for more demanding applications. For standard vehicles, factory latches may be more appropriate unless a specific custom or performance modification requires them.

Each purchase includes two individual clips that work together as a set to secure one panel area.

The chrome plating provides a durable finish. Painting is possible, but proper surface preparation (cleaning and priming) is essential for adhesion. The chrome finish itself is often desirable for its look.

Installation typically requires basic hand tools such as a drill, drill bits, wrenches, and possibly a rivet gun, depending on your chosen mounting method.

The product description specifies 'Standard' or 'Lockable types' but does not detail different sizes. Please refer to specific product listings for available dimensions.

Ensure the locking mechanism is kept clean and free from debris. Periodically check its smooth operation. A small amount of suitable lubricant can be applied if necessary, but avoid over-application which can attract dirt.

Check for misalignment between the panel and the bodywork. Ensure no obstructions are present. Verify that the mounting points are secure and not flexing.

Re-check the installation for proper alignment and secure mounting. Ensure the correct size fasteners are used and tightened appropriately. The gap between the panel and the bodywork might be too large for optimal engagement.

Clean the affected area with a mild rust remover suitable for chrome. Dry thoroughly and apply a light coat of protective wax or polish. Ensure the clips are kept clean and dry.
