.500 Grip 7/16 in Aluminum Button Oval Head Turn Quarter Dzus

Our review of the.500 Grip 7/16 in Aluminum Button Oval Head Turn Quarter Dzus Fasteners finds them best suited for DIY automotive and bodywork tasks where a quick, lightweight fastening solution is needed. The single biggest reason to buy is the convenient 20 pack of high quality aluminum quarter turn buttons that make attaching and removing sheet metal or door panels fast and repeatable. Installation is straightforward for common trim and panel work, and the compact head profile keeps a low visual impact on finished panels.

Key Features

• 20 Pack: Provides enough fasteners for small projects or multiple repair points without buying individual pieces.
• Aluminum construction: Lightweight and corrosion resistant for trim and interior panel applications where steel hardware is unnecessary.
• Quarter turn button: Allows quick engage and release for frequent access panels or removable trim sections.
• Compact head size: The 11/16 in head diameter keeps the fastener unobtrusive on visible panels while offering a positive contact area.
• Standard stem diameter: The 7/16 in stem OD fits common Dzus-style receptacles used in many body and trim installations.

Who It's For

This product is aimed at hobbyists, restoration enthusiasts, and professional technicians who need a fast, non-permanent fastening method for sheet metal, interior trim, or door panels. The pack size and aluminum material suit people working on cars, motorcycles, small equipment or custom body panels where repeated removal is expected.

Those who need heavy-duty load-bearing fasteners, stainless steel corrosion resistance for marine use, or precise fitment for race-spec panels should look elsewhere; this aluminum quarter turn fastener is designed primarily for light to moderate trim and panel work.
