    Not sure if this is old news, also not sure if i’m allowed to use product name, Started using a system called Fasloc today I find it comfortable to work with, but also giving an extra feeling of security when in the locked position.

    Demo http://www.fasloc.net

    Regards Russ

    Russ you can recommend and name suppliers and products, thats fine ….. its just that suppliers cannot recommend themselves or their own products for obvious biast reasons. 😉

    Thanks for the link.

    Just an added note,

    The female has squared ridged side, a spanner gives it a small turn for the second part of the locking system if that makes sence. it’s not quite so obvious on the demo.

    Regards Russ.

    Thanks for that Russ, next time you talk to them, can you ask if they have someone in OZ that sell this stuff?

    Looks just the ticket.

    Got a sample too
    On the whole they look very sturdy and secure

    I would need the answer to:

    It’s exterior durability over the years?

    The ones I use now are more flexible but can be prone to cracking after some years.

    I’ve used SMP raised letter fixings for some time. You just need to drill a hole and tap in the serated female fixing – no need for wall plugs and screws. 😀

    These should not, as they are poly, how strong are they Russ. Did they send any spec details with them, such as weight they can take etc
