Here’s Your Guide To Lanyard Attachments:

Lanyard attachments are the parts that connect the lanyard to the item you want to carry. They come in different shapes, sizes, materials, and colors, depending on the type and weight of the item, and the style and function of the lanyard. Here are some of the lanyard attachments that we offer at AAC:

Split/Key Ring

A simple and versatile attachment that allows you to hang a set of keys directly to your lanyard. It comes in many sizes and is made of high quality metal. The key ring is secure and can be used in any location. However, be careful not to snag your hair with the ring if you have longer hair.

J-Hook

Japanese Hook or Metal Lobster Claw

A crustacean-like attachment that has a high resistance value and a chrome metal finish. It can hang all kinds of items on the lanyard, and is the most durable type of lanyard attachment. However, it is also heavier and more expensive than other attachments.

Alligator or Crocodile Clip

A strong clip that can attach to almost anything. It is especially suitable for holding ID cards that have a hole punched on the top. It can be made of metal or plastic, and can keep the ID card facing forward. The alligator clip is named after it’s alligators like opening jaws.

Metal Oval or Egg Hook

A timeless, classic hook that has an oval shape and a thick and strong body. It is similar to the J-Hook, but has a rust-resistant and highly durable material. The metal oval or Egg hook can be used by anyone and can hold various items on the lanyard.

Metal Swivel Hook

A hook that has a rounded and D-shaped swivel head. It is made of cast and metal steel, and can be used with fashion bags and marine devices. The metal swivel hook is less used on the lanyards, but it is still available on our online shop.

Metal Slide Hook Or Carabiner Hook

A hook that has a heavy-duty and semi-square swivel head. It looks like a lower case “d” and can hold ID cards, key rings, and other items. The metal slide hook is easy to use and can adjust the length of the lanyard. It is also very sturdy and can withstand a lot of pressure.

Safety Breakaways

Safety breakaways are the parts that allow the lanyard to break apart when tugged or snagged. They are designed to prevent choking, strangling, or injuring the wearer in case of an accident. They are especially important for children, or for people who work in hazardous environments. Safety breakaways can be located on different parts of the lanyard, such as the back of the neck, the upper part of the attachment, or the middle of the lanyard. Here are some of the safety breakaways that we offer at aac.com.au, the best store for lanyards in Australia:

Plastic Buckle:

A buckle that can be opened and separated into two parts. It is also called a buckle release, and is made for protecting the users and carrying the keys and small items. The plastic buckle has a side squeeze buckle for easy detachment, and can prevent the users from removing the lanyard when they use the attachment. Also, The plastic buckle can be used for a long period, and can be reconnected after breaking apart.

Plastic Safety Breakaway:

A breakaway that can pull apart when tugged. It is hidden around the back of the neck, and can be used in schools and hospitals. The plastic safety breakaway offers an important safety feature, and can be reconnected after breaking apart.

Velcro Breakaway:

A breakaway that can be torn off with your hands. It is made of mated reclosable fastener and aggressive adhesive that can be used indoors or outdoors. The velcro breakaway is an industrial safety product, and is cheaper than other breakaways. However, it may not be as durable or reliable as other breakaways.

We also offer lanyards with two safety breakaways, such as plastic buckle and plastic safety breakaway, or plastic buckle and velcro breakaway. These types of lanyards can provide double protection, and are the best choice for little children.
