FAQs
Can these be used for heavy-duty belts?
No, these 12mm clasps are designed for swimwear and decorative clothing belts; they are not intended for heavy-duty use or securing heavy equipment.
How many sets are included?
Each pack contains 2 complete sets of clasps.
Will these rust in saltwater?
No, because they are made from high-quality transparent plastic, they are immune to rusting and oxidation.
Are they compatible with 15mm straps?
No, these are specifically designed for 12mm straps; a 15mm strap will be too wide to fit through the slots.
Are they safe for sensitive skin?
The plastic is smooth and non-metallic, which is generally well-tolerated by those with metal allergies.
Troubleshooting
Strap slipping through the clasp
Verify that the strap material is not too thin; if necessary, add a small fold or extra layer of fabric to create a tighter friction fit.
Clasp is difficult to click together
Check the clasp mechanism for sand or debris; rinse with warm water and clear any obstructions from the locking teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these clasps, ensure your strap material is exactly 12mm wide to prevent slipping or bunching within the clasp channel. Thread the strap through the slots on the clasp and secure it with a sturdy, reinforced stitch, such as a zigzag or bar tack, to ensure it withstands tension.
For care, rinse the clasps with fresh water after swimming to remove chlorine or salt residue. If the clasps become dirty during use, hand wash with mild soap and avoid aggressive scrubbing to maintain the clarity of the plastic.
