2 piece Rivet-Mate fasteners hold thick materials together

These two piece rivets hold materials from 1/2" up to 2" thick. They "sandwich" materials by inserting one on each side of the application. When the rivet is "pulled" with any functional rivet setting tool, it expands within the "Mate" creating a clamp and hold joint. Visit http://adprivet.com/rivet_mates.html for details and "how they work" video. The photo shows the two pieces of the Rivet-Mate as well as a cut-a-way view of typical instalation with the smooth "black painted" Mate head on the right.
Two piece fasteners are designed to clamp from each side of the thick application. They are typically used where a smooth, uniform finish apperarnce is desired. They also provide tamper resistance as they can't be un-threaded, or loosened up. Common uses include: security boxes, trailer wall to rail, attaching to fiberglass, or composite materials, highway sign to posts, plastic fence or pipe. They come in 3/16" and 1/4" diameters and offer "easy to use" function. They are very user friendly and can be applied in oversized application holes. These rivets are 100% made in USA.
