Plastic Buckle: How Are Buckles Measured?

Some beginner to the world of buckles may be not sure about how to measure the size of buckle and may ask “Which buckle size should I use?”, this question is what we are frequently asked by our customers.

Please note: the size of buckles are not determined by their exterior dimension, they are measured by interior dimension, i.e. side release buckles, tension locks, and slide buckles are measured by the inner widths, when it comes to cord stopper or horn toggle button, we have to check out the cord diameter and find out cord lock with suitable hole diameter.

I.e. if your webbing width is 15 mm, refer to the above table, your webbing can then fit in buckles with 5/8" inner width.

 

However, inner width is not the only key element when we are selecting the buckles, if the webbing is thicker, then we have to use slide buckles with larger inner length, i.e. although the design and inner width of our slide buckle B1 and wide mouth style B3 is quite similar, B3 can pass through thicker because of larger inner length, please check below :
