snap-on

Clicks into place

Snap-on describes something designed to attach quickly by snapping into place rather than requiring screws, bolts, or other fasteners: snap-on covers, snap-on accessories.

The attachment mechanism typically involves a click or snap sound when properly secured.

The snap-on lens cap is easier to use than the screw-on type. (Capitalized Snap-on is the tool brand.)
