Side-release buckles

Side-release buckles are plastic fastening components for easily connecting and releasing webbing. They are made from black nylon and consist of two parts that connect through a snap-lock mechanism.

The fastening system allows webbing assemblies to be opened and closed quickly. This makes side-release buckles practical for products requiring frequent release.

Applications

Side-release buckles are used for backpacks, bags, tents, protective covers and technical textile products. They are suitable for webbing connections that must close securely while remaining easy to release. They are also used for adjustable straps and carrying assemblies.

What should you consider?

Check that the buckle size matches the webbing width. Consider expected load, material thickness and required closing force. Ensure both fastening parts engage correctly and remain easy to operate.

Processing and use

Attach both buckle halves to the webbing ends using suitable threading and stitching where necessary. Push the parts together until the mechanism locks. Check that the buckle closes securely and can be released easily.

Matching products

Side-release buckles can be combined with polyester webbing, nylon webbing, sliding buckles, ladder buckles and other suitable fastening materials. The correct combination depends on webbing width and required adjustability.

Alternative or other version

Side-release buckles are available in 20, 25, 30, 40 and 50mm, made from black nylon. Sliding buckles, ladder buckles and flip-lock buckles are also available for webbing connections focusing on adjustment or clamping.
