Widely recognized for their first-rate materials, design and workmanship, Wichard products are highly documented, ISO 9001 certified, and backed by a 5-year warranty. Functional load is the maximal static load the product can endure without deforming. Breaking load is the static load at which total failure, by rupture or deformation, occurs. Prudence dictates not exceeding 80 of the functional limit. All Wichard snap hooks are hot forged and passivated, providing exceptional reliability, eliminating internal structural defects and protecting against oxidation.
Assymetric design places more of the load on the stronger, non-gate side - thus increasing strength.
