snaplock

Snapping closure mechanism

A snaplock is a fastening mechanism that closes with an audible click or snap, securing two parts together without requiring screws, latches, or separate hardware.

These closures appear on plastic containers, briefcases, jewelry boxes, and various storage items where quick, tool-free access is desired.

The term also applies to certain door locks and electrical connectors that engage with a similar snapping action.

The snaplock on this container keeps the lid firmly sealed.
