Everyone will recognize the blue plastic buckle closure when they see one. These closures are often found on bags to ensure they close securely. A plastic buckle closure is also useful for securing items together or attaching tools to your body. Many bags come standard with a buckle closure, but if not, you can easily install one yourself. The only thing you need to remember is that the strap width is correct. If the wrong size is chosen, the strap can easily break or it can be difficult to attach the buckles to the strap.
Job for the do-it-yourselfer
Attaching a blue plastic buckle to a strap requires a bit of skill. This buckle is attached to the strap on both sides. Usually, the strap's attachment on the female end is not adjustable, while the male end is. The strap should be the same width as the slot it will slide through. Both the buckle and the straps are available in various widths and colors.
Features of a buckle closure
Because a buckle closure is made of plastic, it can be used both indoors and outdoors. Dust, dirt, water, and temperature have little effect on the closure. However, you should be careful near fire, as it may melt. A buckle closure is fastened by sliding the male part into the female part. It locks into place when two clips spring out with a distinct click. The buckle opens again when both clips are depressed.
