What size Quarterturn button do I need? The diameter size will vary according to application and the amount of room you have to work with. The 7/16" button works best for most applications.

What length button do I need? Refer to our installation page

Should I use steel or aluminum buttons? This will vary by application. The steel buttons are a bit heavier, but stronger and less expensive.

What about spring length 1" or 1-3/8"? The amount of room you have to work with will determine this. Typically, the 5/16 buttons will use the 1" springs and the 7/16" buttons will use the 1-3/8" springs.

Do I need to use a weld plate? This will depend on what you are fastening. If you are fastening two panels together, a weld plate will not be necessary. If you need to mount a panel to a piece of square tubing, then you will need to weld a back plate to the square tubing to be able to attach the QuarterTurn spring.
