Carabiner

Carabiners are versatile closures and fasteners that are used in bag making, key rings and many other sewing projects. Whether as a functional fastener, as a hook for shoulder straps or as a decorative detail - carabiners and snap hooks offer security and convenience all in one.

What are carabiners suitable for?

As bag carabiners, they connect straps to rings, enable detachable carrying handles or hold keys securely. They are also ideal for organizers, dog leashes, lanyards or small household suspensions. Metal carabiners are particularly durable and stand up well to frequent use.

Processing and installation

Carabiners can be easily combined with webbing, fabric loops or D-rings. For a clean and durable fastening, it is advisable to double the webbing, sewing it with large teeth or additionally securing it with a decorative or reinforcing strip. Leather tabs and rivets offer an elegant, stable alternative to sewing alone.

• Select sizes and shapes: pay attention to the area of application and belt width.
• Consider surfaces: matt, shiny or antique look as a style decision.
• Safety: check the locking mechanism, especially for load-bearing parts.
• Care: Keep metal dry regularly and wipe clean if necessary.
