3M™ Dual Lock™ reclosable fasteners

Dual Lock for OEM-grade, removable attachment

Rigid interlocking stems. Audible snap. Converted to the width and shape your assembly needs.

3M Dual Lock uses mushroom-shaped stems that interlock for high tensile and shear strength—about five times typical hook and loop—while still opening for service access. Lockfast supplies stock Dual Lock and converts it into strips, die-cut shapes, rolls, sheets, and kits for industrial and OEM builds.

  • Open and close up to 1,000 times before losing about 50% of original tensile strength
  • Temperature, moisture, and UV resistant constructions available
  • Pressure-sensitive adhesives for many substrates; clear and low-profile options
  • Mix stem densities (Types 170 / 250 / 400) to tune peel and engagement force
  • Custom slit widths, die-cuts, pop-in pieces, and kitted sets
