Snap Hooks, Bolt Snaps &
Spring Snap Hooks

Bolt snaps, snap hooks, and trigger snaps are designed for fast, easy connections. Lexco Cable carries a large variety of both, in a range of sizes and shapes, including spring loaded snap hook styles that close automatically around the connection point.

Snap hooks, bolt snaps, and trigger snaps are designed for light to heavy duty applications, from dog leashes to luggage to marine, agricultural, and construction applications. We stock zinc- and nickel-plated steel and stainless steel varieties. Our snap hooks and bolt snaps are available with an array of end connectors, including rigid eyes, swivel eyes, and clevises, to meet the needs of any application. Most bolt snaps and snap hooks feature spring-loaded closures opposite their end connectors, for fast and easy attachment.

Lexco’s spring trigger snaps, snap hooks, and bolt snaps are available in bulk quantities, or as part of completed cable assemblies. We specialize in cable assembly fabrication, and can create custom assemblies to save our customers time and money on production costs.

Choosing the Right Snap
Hook or Bolt Snap

Selection depends on end connector style, closure type, and material. Rigid eye, swivel eye, and clevis end connectors suit different attachment needs, and swivel eye styles help prevent line twist during use. Spring-loaded closures, common on both bolt snaps and trigger snaps, allow one-handed attachment and release.

Zinc- and nickel-plated steel snap hooks are a common choice for general-purpose and light-duty use, while stainless steel is the better option for marine, outdoor, or other corrosive environments. Duty rating should match the application, from light lanyard and tethering use up to heavier marine, agricultural, and construction connections.
