Tired of the traditional style of hood pins
that rust, or lanyards that scratch the paint? Have you lost your hood
pins due to removing the lanyard in hopes of protecting the paint
finish?
Quick Latch products has developed a new
generation of hood fastening technology that far surpasses traditional
hood pins in both style and functionality. Automotive enthusiasts often
experience problems with losing hood pins, or even forgetting to
reinstall them, with rust, and also with lanyards that scratch expensive
paint jobs.
Quik latch hood fasteners solve these problems
with a sleek, and simple yet elegant snap shut and quick release action.
Quik Latch hood fasteners mount to the hood, and line up with studs
placed on the core support, or other bracket. Once the hood is closed,
Quik Latch fasteners automatically latch to the studs mounted on the
core support, and will not release the hood until the center button on
the top of the mechanism is depressed. Quik Latch products will not
rust, can be painted to match your car, and are manufactured in the
United States. Customers who utilize Quik Latch hood fasteners can rest
assured knowing that they are adding style, function, and exclusivity to
their custom cars. Any reputable custom auto shop should be able to
install Quik Latch products for you, or you can choose to self-install.
Also for those may interested in latches that can
function in purposes other than hood pins, check out our new "Mini Quik-Latches."
They are of the same
basic design as our larger hood pin sets, but scaled down and
significantly cheaper. In addition with the ability to function as hood
pins, our new Mini Latches have multiple applications for which they
could be utilized, even outside the realm of automotive customization.
Pictures of these applications will be posted in the future.

Can I remove my stock hood latch now
that I have the Quik Latch system?
For liability purposes, we do not advise removing the
stock hood latch. Of course, what you do is ultimately up to you.
How much does one Quik Latch set weigh?
One complete Quik Latch set weighs 16 ounces (1
pound).
Do I need to cut a hole in the hood to
install Quik Latch products?
Yes.
Do Quick Latch sets come with mounting
brackets for the pin studs?
No. Due to the fact that every make and model is
different, custom mounting brackets will need to be created to fit the
needs of each make and model.

Latch set?
1 1/2" hole saw 1 1/16" wrench (2) 3/16" drill bit at
least 2" long 3/32" allen wrench Loc-tite thread lock center punch and
hammer. If you need to fabricate mounting brackets, you will need
fabrication equipment as well.
