LB-Q
Hardware plays a vital role in creating functional, comfortable and aesthetic products. This is especially true for elements that provide connection, fixation and adjustment – such as fastexes. Among the variety of models, the LB-Q fastex stands out – a universal fastener that is successfully used in clothing, backpacks, camping equipment, military and sports equipment. Due to its strength, ergonomics and reliability, LB-Q has established itself as one of the most popular types of plastic fasteners.
What is LB-Q fastex?
LB-Q fastex is a type of double-slot plastic quick-opening fastener, which consists of two parts:
- “Daddy” – central element with two spring tongues;
- “Mom” – a frame with holes for fixation.
When the two halves are connected, a click occurs – a reliable fixation that easily opens when the side tongues are simultaneously compressed. This is what ensures quick and convenient use of the product.

- Convenient finger protrusions that make unfastening easier;
- Compact dimensions with high strength.
2. Materials
Fastex LB-Q is made of:
- POM (polyformaldehyde) – durable engineering plastic, resistant to wear, impact, temperature changes;
- PA6/PA66 (polyamide) – elastic and durable material with high resistance to loads and chemicals.
