Large Parrot Keychain Spring Hook – 10.3 mm (0.41 in) Loop SB17090

Large Spring-Loaded Parrot Clasp for Keyrings and Bags

This large-style parrot keychain clasp combines a spring-operated gate with a cast zamak body. It is intended for evaluation in detachable bag charms, keyring fittings, narrow strap loops and accessory attachments. The exterior measures 46 × 21 mm (1.81 × 0.83 in), with a much narrower 10.3 mm (0.41 in) strap passage. The cavity inside the hook itself is 13.6 × 26.8 mm (0.54 × 1.06 in). “Large” therefore describes the clasp's overall profile, not compatibility with 30 mm (1.18 in) webbing.

Start With the Strap, Not the Product Photo

For US accessory production, the critical buying question is whether the finished strap end actually fits the lower loop. A narrow webbing strip may measure approximately 10 mm (0.39 in) before folding and stitching, yet become too thick or stiff once assembled. Compare the real production strap with the 10.3 mm (0.41 in) passage. If your product uses a leather tab, check its finished folded cross-section rather than only its cut width.

The larger visible cavity does not increase the lower loop's width. It receives the mating ring or attachment point. A round keyring can have an outer diameter much larger than the cavity and still engage if its wire passes correctly through the gate; conversely, a relatively small ring with thick wire may not fit. Gate clearance, wire gauge and the direction of pull are more meaningful than the ring's marketing size alone.

Finish Options and Base-Metal Identification

The confirmed material is zamak. Available option labels identify Nickel for a silver appearance, Black Nickel (Gunmetal) for the darker metallic grey, and Gold for a gold-tone finish. The finish choices may have different selectable prices. A dark finish may also be referred to as smoke grey/Füme, but it is not a distinct base alloy or a separate fourth color option for this item.

For coordinated bags, match the clasp against actual zipper pulls, buckles, D-rings and keyrings. Lighting can make black nickel look more grey, while some gold finishes appear warmer than product photography suggests. Surface finishing does not establish a specific tensile rating, corrosion resistance or outdoor certification, and those figures are not listed as verified specifications for this item.

Spring Gate Operation and Material Handling

When attaching a ring, press the spring gate only enough to let the mating component pass. The gate should return to the closed position without catching. Once assembled, test that movement of the strap does not hold the gate open or let a thick ring jam against the edge. Inspect finished samples for rough casting edges that could rub on woven webbing or leather.

Use this clasp for suitable accessory purposes, not as an untested climbing carabiner, child restraint, fall-protection clip or guaranteed heavy-duty anchor. If a hook must meet a specified force limit, the required certification should come from a purpose-designed load-rated product rather than from a generic accessory label.

Paired Keyrings and Alternative Hardware

Depending on the product, this clasp may attach to a keyring, fixed bag eye, chain end or a compatible strap connection. An available 25 mm (0.98 in) keyring can be considered as a separate accessory, but first compare its actual wire thickness and the parrot clasp's gate movement. The ring's outside diameter by itself is not a fit guarantee.

If a project requires a shorter overall clasp or a different lower attachment, choose another parrot hook geometry only after comparing technical drawings and a real sample. A smaller model may have a narrower loop than this one even if the styling is similar. Likewise, a hook with a built-in ring may alter the finished length and the way a strap hangs from a bag.

Production Sample, Minimum Quantity and Special Finishes

Installation usually begins by feeding the narrow strap end through the 10.3 mm (0.41 in) loop. The producer then secures the strap with the stitching or separate mechanical fixing selected for that material. A snap-button setting die is not required to install the clasp itself. If the strap design uses rivets, choose that rivet and its tool independently after confirming the material thickness.

The recorded minimum purchase is 100 pieces; volume price breaks apply at 1,000 and 2,500 pieces. Before larger orders, test a production-ready sample for gate action, strap fit, metal surface consistency and connection behaviour under expected handling. If a custom coating is requested, supply a finish reference, projected quantity and dimensions of the mating strap and ring so the supplier can confirm feasibility.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the actual strap width?

The strap loop measures 10.3 mm (0.41 in), not 30 mm (1.18 in).

How large is the overall clasp?

46 × 21 mm (1.81 × 0.83 in).

What does the 13.6 × 26.8 mm measurement describe?

It is the hook's internal cavity, not the lower webbing passage.

Which alloy is used?

Zamak metal; the finishes are Nickel, Black Nickel/Gunmetal and Gold.

Is Black Nickel a type of stainless steel?

No. It is a dark metallic finish description, not a stainless-steel material grade.

Is the ring fit guaranteed by a 25 mm ring size?

No. Match the ring's wire thickness, the spring gate travel and the intended orientation.

Do I need a snap fastener press?

No. The clasp attaches to a ring and a separately assembled strap end.

What is the minimum purchase quantity?

100 pieces, with catalog price-break quantities at 1,000 and 2,500 pieces.
