The 1-035SL Captive-Joiner 9.5 SNAP-LINE offers all the benefits of traditional captive screws PLUS improved ease of use by the end-user, significant reduction in time of installation, and reduction in the risk of damage to sensitive electronic equipment housed inside enclosures. The Captive-Joiner also functions as a slam to close latch, requiring just a simple push of the panel against the frame to ensure latching. Disengaging the two panels is achieved by turning the knob 45 Deg instead of the more time consuming traditional screwing/unscrewing required for a captive screw. It can be completely removed from both panels and re-installed quickly with a push. Where misalignment is a concern the Captive-Joiner compensates for tight tolerances that are difficult to achieve. The knob design offers a comfortable grip for actuation and opening and eliminates the need to install a separate handle.
