Midwest Fasteners Clip-Style Hex Head Plastic Panel Retainer

Midwest Fasteners Clip-Style Hex Head Plastic Panel Retainer

The Midwest Fasteners Clip-Style Hex Head Plastic Panel Retainer is a non-metallic, clip-style fastener used to secure access panels and removable panel sections in place of a full metal fastener. Molded from durable plastic with a hex head for straightforward hand or tool engagement, it offers a lightweight alternative wherever a quick-release or semi-permanent panel retainer is needed on the job. This retainer family is available in sizes ranging from a 3/16 Hole configuration up to a 3/4 x 5/16 x 1/2 configuration, so techs and fabricators can match the retainer to the specific panel opening or mounting footprint required, with every size in the line sharing the same hex head design and molded plastic construction for a consistent, standardized hardware choice.

Key Features

• Size Range: Available from a 3/16 Hole configuration through a 3/4 x 5/16 x 1/2 configuration to fit different panel openings and mounting needs.

• Head Configuration: Hex head design for straightforward hand or tool engagement during installation or removal.

Typical Applications

• Securing access panels on equipment enclosures and cabinets
• Retaining removable panel sections on fixtures and assemblies

• Standardizing on a single retainer family across multiple panel configurations rather than stocking several one-off metal fasteners

Why Midwest Fasteners?

Midwest Fasteners supplies consistent, correctly sized hardware for professional and maintenance work, and this panel retainer family is no exception, holding to its stated plastic construction and hex head configuration across every size option so it fits as expected every time, whether the job calls for the 3/16 Hole configuration or the 3/4 x 5/16 x 1/2 configuration. For shops and techs standardizing on panel retainers across multiple panel openings and mounting footprints, that consistency in material and configuration matters as much as the part itself, reducing the guesswork of matching a retainer to a given access panel or removable panel section. Choosing a single, dependable retainer family also simplifies restocking, since every size shares the same molded plastic build and hex head engagement point rather than requiring techs to track different materials or head styles across the line.
