spring hook

Self-closing metal clip

A spring hook is a metal fastening device with a hinged gate that opens under pressure and snaps shut automatically via an internal spring mechanism.

It allows quick attachment and detachment while preventing accidental release, making it useful for securing ropes, cables, and chains.

Spring hooks appear on dog leashes, keychains, and various rigging applications.
