Fasteners are used across various industries due to their fastening function, and their names differ across sectors. For example, the automotive industry often uses the term "fastener," while the machinery industry tends to use "hook and latch."
In the home building materials industry, floor fasteners are used to connect floorboards. Their design incorporates pre-drilled adhesive cavities to enhance bonding strength, reduce joint deformation, and support repeated assembly and disassembly. They offer advantages such as improved joint strength, ease of maintenance, reusability, and moisture and dust resistance.
In the automotive industry, fasteners are widely used in door latches, engine latches, seatbelt latches, and trunk latches to ensure driving safety and component fixation. Seatbelt latches, in particular, utilize intelligent technologies such as Hall effect sensors for real-time monitoring and feedback of seatbelt status.
In the machinery manufacturing industry, hook and latch (locking clips) are used in production equipment such as new one-piece molded piston brake chambers and automotive positioning hook and latch bending assemblies to achieve high-strength connections and precise positioning.
In the building engineering and photovoltaic industries, fastener structures can be used as quick-installation fasteners in scenarios such as photovoltaic panel renovations. In the field of box and cabinet construction, metal box latches (or locks) are used for the quick opening, closing, and sealing of metal boxes, flight cases, cabinets, etc.
In the field of home furnishings and doors and windows, latches are used for the closing and securing of casement windows, etc.
In the field of outdoor and safety equipment, latches are used in life-saving equipment such as high-altitude safety rope locks.
In the field of textile machinery, there are components in plain knitting machines called "knitting latches" or "triangular carriages."
