Metal Side Release Buckles – what to choose?

Metal side release buckles fasten dog collars, harnesses and other gear. Zinc alloy variants have a solid metal construction. The Plus series is their improved version: compared with the buckles without the Plus label, it has rounder shapes, a revised locking mechanism and openings 0.5 to 1 mm wider, which also take our waterproof webbings. Aluminium side release buckles are lighter and, depending on size, have a breaking load of up to 900 kg, combining strength with lower weight. For a lower-cost option, see plastic side release buckles.

Parameter guide

What the parameters mean and how to choose the right values.

Inner width indicates the passage size for a strap or belt. Choose hardware with an inner width equal to or greater than your strap width.

The dimension of the whole piece, end to end. It tells you how much room the fitting takes on the finished item; whether it fits the webbing depends on the inner width. The whole piece is measured, not just its working part, so two pieces with the same inner width can differ in length.

The brand the goods are made under. It works mainly as a filter: when a series already under way uses one brand of hardware or dye, you can reorder the same version without wondering whether the shade or the shape differs. Every item has our own product code anyway.

A variant of the same item that differs in construction, shape or surface: for hardware, for example with or without a lock, straight or curved, or all-metal; for straps and webbing, smooth, braided, hair-on or with a reflective stripe. Variants usually share the dimensions and differ in handling or looks.
