Square Nylon Turn Button Sets are also known as
Twist Lock or Common-Sense Fasteners. This fastener is sold as a complete 4-piece
set, meaning you get the 2 piece female unit which snaps together on the canvas
and 2 piece unit to snap the male either onto canvas to make a canvas to canvas
connection. Most common installation is discarding the bottom stud plate and screw
or rivet the stud fastener into place.
These fasteners are unaffected by moisture or humidity and
will withstand extremes of temperatures. Not as strong as their metal cousins
and are subject to UV ray deterioration.
Tooling has not been specifically made for these Square
Turn Button fasteners but to provide holes for the male posts to snap onto the bottom
stud plate any 1/8” hole punch used for snap fasteners will work. To punch the
oval hole into canvas for the female portions, use a #3-hole punch to cut 2
overlapping holes into your material matching the width of the oblong hole to
cut out to match the hole in the
turn button. If you have time, you can also use a box cutter or razer blade to
cut the holes. These turn buttons will work with canvas up to 3 layers of
Sunbrella. You can sneak in a fourth layer by using crazy glue to hold the
plastic pieces in place.
