Selection Guide
General Description
3M™ Dual Lock™ Reclosable Fasteners are
positive-locking, blind fasteners designed for
attaching headliner, wall and door panels in
the transportation industry. The products
feature mushroom-shaped polyolefin stems
that snap together, forming a high tensile
closure. Dual Lock reclosable fasteners are
used primarily to secure rigid and semi-rigid
surfaces. Some examples are to prevent
headliner sag, attach center consoles,
instrument panel bezels, headliners, wall and
door panels and other interior trim.
Dual Lock reclosable fasteners overcome the
often difficult alignment and installation
problems of screws and hidden fasteners.
Dual Lock reclosable fasteners offer a cost
effective alternative to traditional fasteners.

Benefits
1. Easy Alignment
: Dual Lock reclosable fasteners engage in any orientation. The
heads slide over each other until they are engaged with firm pressure, eliminating
concerns about misalignment, premature or incomplete engagement.
2. Rec
losability: Dual Lock reclosable fasteners can be opened and reclosed in high
cycle life applications.
3. Ra
ttle-Free: Dual Lock reclosable fasteners typically won’t rattle loose.
4. Blind Attac
hment: Dual Lock reclosable fasteners can be attached on the backside
of a trim piece where it won’t interrupt the show surface.
5. Ease of Assemb
ly: Dual Lock reclosable fasteners can be attached to components
before they enter the assembly plant, reducing the number of parts and the
required assembly time.
6. Multiple Attac
hment Methods: Dual Lock reclosable fasteners can be attached to a
variety of surfaces by A) adhesive attachment with hot melt or pressure-sensitive
adhesives, B) mechanical attachment using rigid back parts, C) high strength pop-
in parts, D) sewing, E) stapling, or F) ultrasonic fusing. Custom mold-in parts for
low temperature/low pressure mold applications are also available.
7. P
ositive Locking: Dual Lock reclosable fasteners fasten with an audible snap,
assuring secure closure.

automotive surfaces such as painted steel, aluminum, stainless steel and ABS. On some surfaces, primers may be required.
Non-Woven Backed Dual Lock reclosable fasteners utilizes a polyolefin non-woven loop backing to facilitate attachment with hot melt
or liquid adhesives to substrates.
Recommended combinations, listed in order of increasing strength: 170 to 250, 170 to 400, 250 to 250, 705 to 705, 250 to 400,
Dual Lock to 3M™ Scotchmate™ loop.
