a QUARTER TURN system

Using the design guide and the descriptions found to the right, choose
the fastening system that best suits your application. For additional
information on the product lines, go to www.southco.com/DZUS.

When specifying the parts in your quick access system, start with the
selection of your receptacle. Southco has a full range of receptacles to
meet virtually any material or application configuration.

enhance the look and feel of your designs
