Zhuocheng 2 Piece Mate Rivets

2 piece mate rivets are non-structural fastening rivets for extra-long grip applications. To install 2 piece rivets, access to both sides of the work piece is required. The tubular component is inserted from one side, and the rivet itself is inserted from the opposite side. The fastener is set with a rivet tool, which expands the rivet inside the tubular component to create a tight, secure grip without damaging the host material. Two-piece rivets do not require close tolerance holes for proper installation.

The Rivet Mate or Mate Rivet is capable of fastening multiple components up to two inches thick. Mate rivets consist of a male blind rivet and a female semi-tubular rivet. Mate rivets are used in sets in assemblies where you have access to both sides. You can control the tension of the fastener which is good for plastic assembly and hinge points where you need strength but allows the assembly to move. Available in aluminum or steel in grip ranges from 3/4" to over 2".
