People use a few common names for the clip that holds keys. Each describes a slightly different style:

• Lobster clasp: A spring-loaded claw that opens and snaps shut.
• Swivel snap hook: A clip with a rotating base to reduce tangling.
• Carabiner clip: A quick clip for keys and accessories (non-climbing).
• Trigger clip: A push-gate hook often used on lanyards and bags.
• Split ring/key ring: The circular ring that keys sit on, often paired with a clip.

You’ll see these names across multipacks and kits. If you’re matching an existing setup, check the style, finish (silver, gold, colored, plastic), and size to keep everything consistent.

A key clasp is a small fastener that lets you quickly attach or detach keys, badges, charms, or small tools from a ring, lanyard, bag, or belt loop. Common styles include lobster clasps and swivel snap hooks, both using a spring gate to open and close.

• Everyday use: Clip keys to backpacks, purses, or belt loops.
• DIY crafts: Build keychains, bag charms, and jewelry.
• Organization: Group keys and accessories on split rings and jump rings.

Materials range from metal alloys to plastic, and finishes vary. These are for accessories and light utility; they’re not intended for load-bearing or climbing.

There are several popular keychain clasp types, each with different benefits:

• Lobster claw clasp: Compact, spring-loaded claw for quick on/off.
• Swivel snap hook: Clip with a rotating base that helps prevent twists.
• Carabiner clip: Fast clipping for keys and gear (non-climbing).
• Trigger/snap clip: Push-gate hook commonly used on lanyards and straps.
• Key fob hardware: Clamp-style ends for wristlets and webbing straps.
• Split rings & jump rings: Connectors that hold keys and attach to clips.
• Screw-lock links/quick-release: Secure or detachable connectors for modular setups.

Choosing among these depends on your strap width, preferred look, and how often you clip items on and off.

A few quick checks can help you choose a good fit:

• Match strap width: For bag straps or wristlets, pick a clasp with an inside width that fits your webbing (e.g., 3/4 inch, 1 inch).
• Ring diameter: Pair the clasp with split rings that fit your key holes and the clasp’s eye.
• Gate opening: Ensure the spring gate opens wide enough for your attachment point.
• Swivel vs. fixed: Swivel bases help reduce tangles on lanyards and bags.
• Material/finish: Coordinate silver, gold, or colored/plastic to your project.

Sizes can vary by maker, so checking the measurements listed on the product page is a practical way to confirm compatibility.

Yes, you can find a range of replacement hardware on Walmart’s site, including multipacks of lobster clasps, swivel snap hooks, carabiner clips, split rings, jump rings, D-rings, and key fob hardware.

• Match what you have: Check size (inside width, ring diameter), finish, and color.
• Consider kits: Bundled sets with clasps and rings can simplify DIY repairs.
• Read specs: Look for measurements and material details to align with your project.
• Convenience: Pickup and delivery options may be available in your area.

If you’re replacing a single piece, ordering a small multipack can be helpful for future fixes and add-ons.
