Lift-The-DOT Complete Set (3/8" Stud)
Professional Marine-Grade Canvas Fastening System
This complete Lift-The-DOT set provides a heavy-duty, directional locking solution for securing boat covers, sprayhoods, and canvas enclosures. Unlike standard snaps, the Lift-The-DOT system is engineered to lock on three sides, ensuring it will not pull apart under high wind tension. It can only be released by lifting the specific edge marked with the trademark "DOT".

Questions & Answers
Is this a genuine original part?
Yes, these are authentic DOT brand fasteners manufactured by Scovill, the industry standard for high-security marine canvas fasteners.
How do I know if it is compatible?
If you are replacing an existing "Lift-The-DOT" snap, these are standard size and will fit perfectly. Ensure your mounting surface (wood/fiberglass) can accommodate a 3/8" screw depth.
Why does the snap only open from one side?
This is a safety feature called "directional locking." It ensures that tension from the canvas (e.g., wind pulling on a boat cover) actually tightens the grip rather than popping it open. It must be lifted at the "dot" to release.
Note: Please verify your required screw length before purchasing. This set includes the short 3/8" (approx 9.5mm) thread stud. All orders dispatched from 4boats.co.uk.
