How to use

To fasten, insert the pronged stem through pre-punched holes in the sheets or materials to be joined, then spread the prongs apart and press flat against the reverse side to secure the assembly. For best results, align holes before inserting the fastener and ensure prongs are fully opened and flattened to avoid movement. When removing or repositioning, carefully straighten the prongs to withdraw the stem, then refold or replace as needed.

Usage recommendations

Use with materials of appropriate thickness: too thick or dense materials may deform the fastener or prevent full prong opening. For long-term or load-bearing joins, consider a more robust fastening method. Store in a dry environment to maintain the brass finish and prevent surface tarnishing.
