The D-ring w/clip is mostly used as a type of anchoring hardware. Here at strapworks.com we have die cast zinc, steel plated D-rings w/clip, as well as stainless steel. They come in 3/4" and 1" sizes. These D-rings are typically combined with heavyweight or flat nylon webbing, and used as a utility strap.

We can also powder coat your metal d-rings with clip for a small additional charge. You can choose from 19 stock colors. There is no minimum on stock colors. You can also order from over 100 available colors. On custom colors there is a minimum of 150 pieces (you can combine different types of metal hardware to meet this requirement). Please keep in mind that powder coating can delay shipping your order, and that powder coating is only available with metal hardware.
For more information on powder coating and your D-Rings see the powder coating page.

Some uses are the following; hang a shelf, hang hardware, tie down accessory, purse hardware, and luggage.  There is really no right or wrong use for these D-rings w/clip, as long as you're being realistic about it!  Restrictions are noted below.  When using the D-ring with clip, place the clip side on the surface you want it to be attached to.  Then drill a screw through the hole of the clip, going on until the screw is flush with the clip.  Now you have an anchored piece of hardware to attach things to, or add a strap to it.
The breaking strength on hardware varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, so we highly recommend that you contact us directly, but keep in mind that not all manufactures supply us with this information.  To find out more information on our hardware, please email your questions to support@strapworks.com.
