Mr. Dzus would be proud to know his incredible design is still used today. Founded in 1936 and still produced in America at one of its factories in W. Islip Long Island. Great explanation of its use Tim.
I have a race car with earless 1/4 turn self ejecting fasteners. The round grommet is held in place by a retaining ring on the underside of the panel. I can't find these anywhere. The car is a Radical and the factory charges $20/fastener.That seems a bit steep so I'm trying to source elsewhere. Can you help? I can send a picture of needed.
I think it would be a good idea to offer a line with an exploding part in the design for quick deployment in the event of an emergency like a race car catching fire at the line that has a dozen or so Dzus fasteners.
Do you have an email or some sosial media I can reach you in and ask a few questions, I’m looking to find the perfect screw’s for mounting a bodykit on a car, so I can easily remove it, but need to look original almost, so skrewhesds need to be small and fit flush. Thanks for any answer
New? Camlocs were standard on the F-105 fighter in 1960, and the corners of some stress panels were held down by more advanced fasteners (SPF) that screwed down tightly after a quarter-turn engagement. Dzus fasteners definitely are old school, as they held the engine cowl panels on the DC-3. I still have in my toolbox a Craftsman slotted screwdriver which I bought in 1965 before sawing the ball off the end of the handle. That made it exactly the right height to fit under the open cowl flaps to unlock the Dzus fasteners securing the engine accessory panels.
What total disrespect dude. Dzus is more than a random trade name, this is the guy that invented this fastener and they made them all until the patent ran out, now inferior products are on the market.
Told a friend about these when he was building a battery box/access panel. I told them to use dzuz fasteners (zeus) he said they aren't zeus and got mad. Then he told me how these fasteners suck and how parts fly off cars. Lmao. Honestly everything sucks if you dont do it right...
plz gives ur words on the screen for understanding all different region peoples ...if u can translate in hindi than it is very useful for me.plz help me to take advantage of this pretty much described knowledge about fasteners .
Translation may be hard to find. If you want information about products such as fasteners, Google the term, such as Dzus, or panel fastener, and take advantage of the large amount of information available on manufacturer's web sites. Much of the information is in illustrations, tables and videos. Good luck.

I live one town over from west islip, so i googled this, I always wondered what that building used to be, pretty cool, its a superfund site now
Great guide Tim, one other thing to note is the fastener and spring depth can vary dependant on the thickness of panels being clamped
Thanks, sweenep86. That's actually the topic of our next video in the 4-part Dzus Fastener series.
Thanks for this video

very helpful video thanks a bunch!
What size fasteners would I need to put steel fenders on
I think it would be a good idea to offer a line with an exploding part in the design for quick deployment in the event of an emergency like a race car catching fire at the line that has a dozen or so Dzus fasteners.
He did not say murdered out...lol, love it
Do you have a video on how to install a Dzus Fastener to a MGB GT tailgate
Nice and clear.
Anyone happen to know a product like a twin dzus fastener? I mean a set of two quarter turn fasteners in one assembly.
How do you know the grab thickness of a dzus fastener

dzus is old school, camloc's are the new industry standard
