2.5 cm / 0.98 in Spring Gate O-Ring for Bags and Keychains T0050

The 2.5 cm / 0.98 in spring gate O-ring creates a practical, removable connection for bag straps, purse chains, wallets, keychains and decorative accessories. A spring-loaded section of the round metal body opens inward, allowing a compatible chain link, strap fitting or accessory loop to be added after the main product has been assembled.

This opening mechanism makes the ring a useful alternative to a permanently closed O-ring when a component may need to be attached, removed or replaced. It is particularly suitable for interchangeable straps, removable chains, bag charms and promotional keychain designs.

Exact Measurements of the 2.5 cm Spring Gate O-Ring

The 2.5 cm / 0.98 in measurement in the product name represents its commercial size group. For manufacturing and compatibility checks, use the exact measurements below. The ring has a 26 mm / 1.02 in inner diameter, a 32.5 mm / 1.28 in outer diameter and a 3.7 mm / 0.15 in body thickness.

• Commercial size: 2.5 cm / 0.98 in
• Inner diameter: 26 mm / 1.02 in
• Outer diameter: 32.5 mm / 1.28 in
• Body thickness: 3.7 mm / 0.15 in
• Material: Zamak metal
• Available finishes: Nickel, Black Nickel and Gold
• Minimum order: 50 pieces

The inner diameter indicates the usable space inside the ring, but it does not determine whether every strap end or chain link will fit through the gate. The thickness of the connecting part and the available gate opening must also be checked before production.

Bag Strap and Purse Chain Applications

This round spring gate ring can be used to connect removable bag straps, purse chains, wallet chains and decorative hardware. Its circular shape allows an attached component to move around the ring, while the spring-loaded gate makes later assembly or replacement easier.

When the ring remains visible on the finished product, the selected finish becomes part of the overall design. Matching Nickel, Black Nickel or Gold with the bag’s chain, rivets, buckles and other metal components helps create a consistent, professionally finished appearance.

Keychain and Promotional Product Assembly

The ring can also bring together keychain components, short chains, metal tags, bag charms and promotional accessories. Because the gate opens inward, components may be installed during the final assembly stage without permanently bending or separating the round body.

Before placing a production order, check that the hole, loop or chain link on the component can pass through the spring gate and move comfortably within the 26 mm / 1.02 in inner opening. A wide inner diameter does not necessarily mean that a thick connector can pass through the gate.

Selecting Hardware for Wholesale Production

Bag manufacturers, leather goods workshops, accessory designers and promotional product companies should test the ring with the actual materials intended for production. Chain thickness, strap-end construction, connector-hole dimensions and gate clearance should be evaluated together.

For products that will be opened frequently, a sample test can also help confirm that the gate remains convenient to operate in the finished design. The ring should be assessed as part of the complete assembly rather than by diameter alone.

No verified load rating is provided for this product. It is decorative and functional bag or keychain hardware, not a safety carabiner. It must not be used for climbing, fall protection, personal safety equipment or other load-critical applications.

Finish and Bulk Order Options

Standard options include Nickel, Black Nickel and Gold. The finish can be selected to coordinate with other visible hardware in a bag, wallet or accessory collection. If your project requires another finish, size or a higher production quantity, contact us with the intended application, required dimensions and order volume. Availability will depend on current production conditions.
