40mm Metal Bag Lock Nickel Plated Handbag Lock Hardware Rectangular

Q1: How does the twist lock mechanism work?
A1: The lock has two parts. The male part has a knob that you twist 90 degrees. This action rotates internal prongs or a cam that engage with the female socket part, locking them securely together.

Q2: Is the nickel plating durable?
A2: Yes. Nickel plating is known for its hardness and corrosion resistance. It maintains its bright, silver appearance well with normal use, making it a reliable choice for handbag hardware.

Q3: What is the 40mm size referring to?
A3: The 40mm measurement typically refers to the length or width of the visible rectangular lock plate. It's a common, versatile size that provides a noticeable but not overpowering closure on medium to large bags.

Q4: Can this lock be used on materials other than leather?
A4: Yes. It can be installed on a variety of materials including leather, canvas, vinyl, and thick fabrics, provided the material has sufficient structure to support the lock's weight and installation.

Q5: How is the lock installed on a handbag?
A5: Both the male and female plates are designed to be riveted or screwed onto the bag material from the inside. The female socket plate is mounted on the bag body, and the male twist plate is mounted on the flap.

Q6: Do you offer this lock in other metal finishes?
A6: Absolutely. While nickel is standard, we commonly produce this rectangular twist lock in antique brass, gunmetal, black, and gold finishes to match different design themes.
