Buckles are used for many different types
of webbing straps and on luggage, back packs, hand bags, and industrial textile
products, etc.
There are many different types of buckles made from a variety of materials such as nickel plated steel, Stainless Steel, die cast alloy metal, and various types of thermo plastics such as nylon, acetyl, and other polymers.
The buckles usually fall into three main types.

Snap buckles involve a mechanical latch or
clasp of some type that separates into two distinct pieces, one piece attached
to each end of the belt. One piece will be hollow with an open side, and the
other piece will have a spring clasp. When placed together the belt will
"snap" into place. This kind of buckle is usually made from plastic
and tends to be used on fabric
belts.
Clip buckles are often used in western
style belts. They consist of a thin metal plate that is fitted over one end of
the belt. At the back of the metal plate is a rail that the other end of the
belt is inserted through. The belt is then secured when in the correct position
by a spring or magnetic clip.
Tang
Buckles
Tang buckles are designed as classic belt
buckles with a metal loop and pin. The tail end of the strap has holes in small
increments, the strap is then threaded through the buckle and the pin is pushed
through the corresponding hole for a good fit.
The type of buckle for each application is determined by the weights and loading on the strap, heavier loads or devices that are meant to protect human safety often require metal buckles that can handle that weight. The heavier metal buckles that we carry are often used for tie-down straps and lashing straps, care should also be taken not to overload the buckles in these applications as well.
