Låskrokar

Låskrokar, often translated as "locking hooks" or "latch hooks" in English, are mechanical components used to secure or fasten two objects together. They typically consist of a hook-shaped piece that engages with a corresponding loop, eye, or slot on another part. The design allows for a quick and often manual engagement and disengagement, providing a temporary or semi-permanent closure.

These devices are found in a wide variety of applications. In the textile industry, låskrokar are a common feature in clothing, particularly on garments like dresses, skirts, and bras, where they are used in conjunction with eyes to create closures. They can also be found in bags and luggage, serving as a simple and effective fastening mechanism. In furniture and cabinetry, smaller låskrokar might be used to keep doors or drawers closed. They are also employed in industrial settings for securing covers, hatches, or other movable parts where a simple, secure fastening is needed. The material and size of låskrokar vary greatly depending on their intended use, ranging from small plastic or metal components to larger, more robust steel constructions. The principle remains the same: a hook that latches onto something to hold it in place.
