Small Parrot Hook – 6.7 mm (0.26 in) Strap Loop SB17014

Small Spring-Gate Hardware for Compact Accessories

This small parrot-style clasp gives a keychain, pouch strap or detachable ornament a convenient clip attachment. It is produced from zamak, with a spring-operated mouth designed to accept a compatible metal ring or eye. Its compact dimensions suit designs where a larger clasp would be visually intrusive. Determine compatibility by the exact opening and the finished strap end, not by the descriptive size label.

The 6.7 mm (0.26 in) Loop Is the Critical Fit

The exterior measures 34.8 × 13.8 mm (1.37 × 0.54 in). The strap passes through a lower opening only 6.7 mm (0.26 in) wide. The hook's own inner cavity is 8.4 × 20 mm (0.33 × 0.79 in). Each measurement belongs to a different part of the clasp. In particular, a 10 mm (0.39 in) strap may be too wide despite the older '1 cm' product description. Test a real folded and stitched tab before ordering.

Finishes: Nickel, Black Nickel and Gold

Three finish options are listed: Nickel, Black Nickel (Gunmetal) and Gold. These refer to appearance, not different grades of base metal. The previous reference to black oxide does not match the current list of selectable colors. If coordinated hardware is important, place a finished clasp beside the project's rings, chain and zipper hardware under consistent lighting. No verified stainless-steel grade or corrosion rating is provided.

Connecting a Ring Without Forcing the Gate

The spring gate should admit the ring and return to its closed position after attachment. Measure ring wire thickness and check its movement within the 8.4 × 20 mm cavity. A ring with an acceptable outside diameter can still have wire too thick for the gate. Inspect burrs and ensure the finished strap does not hold the gate partly open. This accessory is not climbing, fall protection or certified heavy-load hardware.

Securing a Narrow Strap End

The clasp does not require a snap-button setting die. Thread the prepared narrow webbing or leather tab through the lower opening and secure the end with the assembly method required by the material. If a separate rivet is specified, its tooling belongs to that construction, not the clasp mechanism. Evaluate a production sample for fit, spring return and appearance before repeat ordering.

Alternatives and Ordering Information

For additional internal clearance, compare the large-size parrot hook, which uses a 10.3 mm (0.41 in) strap passage. The minimum order for this small model is 200 pieces, while pricing tiers begin at 1,000 and 2,500 pieces. Select the required finish in the live product options; the Gold finish may have an additional charge.
