SD Products Ltd is a third generation family
owned business with over 40 years of
experience as a stockist distributor of specialist
fasteners, we supply product across all
industries. The corner stones of our business

with Service and Supply requirements tailored

A brand new range of 12-150mm safety clips
is now available from SD Products website.
These fasteners are manufactured from high
grade spring steel, offering excellent stress
and corrosion resistance, as well as ability to
withstand considerable forces without any
distortion. High yield strength of spring steel
in our safety clips allows them to return to
their original shape, even after substantial
deflection, twisting or compression, without
suffering any significant deformation. Safety
clips are well suited for both domestic and
industrial applications and can be easily
installed or removed by hand.
Several new lines of stainless steel connector
bolts and nuts have been added to our
furniture fastener range. Connector bolts are
designed to be used with connector caps nuts
- nut applying an axial clamping force and the
shank of the bolt acting as a dowel, pinning
the joint against sideways shear forces. Our
connector bolts are suitable for a variety of
furniture applications, flat low profile bolt
heads allowing for a decorative finish.
We have increased our range of mild steel slab
base t-nuts and added a new range of stainless
steel 4 pronged t-nuts. T-nuts have a wide
range uses – ideal for automotive, domestic,
furniture and industrial applications. Durable,
reliable and low in cost, these fasteners are
designed to securely anchor particle or
composite materials like wood and plastic to
a workpiece. Produced from high quality mild
and stainless steel, t-nuts from SD Products are
sturdy and hard-wearing.

Kevin de Stadler, UK & Ireland Sales Director,
TR Fastenings, comments:
“As new technology, equipment and
applications are developed throughout
different industrial sectors, there is an
increasing need to make sure they are kept
safe, especially in settings where they may be
exposed to dangers such as severe weather,
corrosive atmospheres, tampering or theft.
Our enclosure hardware products not only
increase the safety of the contents inside an
enclosure or cabinet but also improve other
factors such as ease of installation and access
for maintenance teams.”
