Quick-Release Pins for Access Panels
Attach these pins to a machine cover or access panel, then clip the panel on to an enclosure. Install them in a receptacle (sold separately). They're made of nickel-plated steel for good strength and some corrosion resistance.
Push-button pins lock in place until you push the button to release the spring-loaded retaining balls. A raised button has a narrow head to fit in small spaces. A recessed button prevents accidental pin removal. The head has a hole to add a ring and lanyard (sold separately).

Add a knob or handle (sold separately) to the threaded shank. Pins have a spring-loaded ball that pops out when the pin is pushed into a hole, and retracts when the pin is pulled out. For the best fit, the hole should be as close to the diameter as possible, but not larger than the diameter at extended ball height. Pins are made of 18-8 stainless steel for a balance of strength and corrosion resistance. Breaking strength is measured as single shear, which is the force required to break the pin into two pieces.
