Our Products

The Button-fix concept is simple: robust Buttons are attached to the background structure and the mating Fixes are attached to the removable panel. Push on the panel firmly until the Button-fixes ‘click’.

We offer a versatile range of fasteners to suit many different applications. We also offer complementary buttons and accessories to help make the Button-fix installation quick and easy.
