{"product_id":"154387","title":"QTF-1","description":"\u003cp\u003e1\" OD Quarter-Turn Panel Fastener - sometimes called Ring Latches or Cam Latches - Here is a breakdown of the features that identify them:\n\u003cbr\u003e * The Ring Handle: This allows the fastener to be operated by hand without a screwdriver. You lift the ring to turn the latch.\n\u003cbr\u003e * The \"T-Pin\" (Crossbar): Look closely at the tip of the shaft (especially on the bottom right and bottom left pieces). Instead of a screw thread, there is a small metal crossbar. This is designed to fit into a slotted \"keyhole\" opening.\n\u003cbr\u003e * The Plastic Washer: The white\/clear washer (visible on the bottom left piece) acts as a spring. When you lock the fastener, this washer compresses, creating tension to prevent the latch from wiggling loose due to vibration.\n\u003cbr\u003eHow they work:\n\u003cbr\u003e * The pin is inserted into a slot on the machine's frame.\n\u003cbr\u003e * You turn the ring 90 degrees (a \"quarter turn\").\n\u003cbr\u003e * The \"T\" shape rotates behind the frame, locking the panel in place.\n\u003cbr\u003eCommon Uses:\n\u003cbr\u003e * Electronics Enclosures: Securing the metal box around VCRs, old computers, or industrial controllers.\n\u003cbr\u003e * Machinery Covers: Holding access panels shut on printers or copiers (so a technician can open them quickly).\n\u003cbr\u003e * Portable Cases: Latches for sewing machine covers or instrument cases.\n\u003cbr\u003eThey are essentially \"quick-release\" screws that don't require tools\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GREEN BROOK ONLINE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45107970768949,"sku":null,"price":1.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0219\/7936\/5440\/files\/AP1GczPrE1ZGKe-LUKhs6ViWT6SdoIqgLaXXAKPy4YE3LqxCkCC0Ia6dkd45dTz1StQpUGHaFTwtOBSA1qy0_DtuE0mX9N00JZNfORNG7YiyPwoSq45liYH242JX__folnHklsbrO3Pxsbk-DZTjFbhQUNfkHg_w1928-h1928-s-no-gm.jpg?v=1775610095","url":"https:\/\/greenbrookonline.com\/products\/154387","provider":"Green Brook Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
