Hardware Identification Thread

Recommended Posts

Can anyone identify what these two pieces of hardware are called? One is a pin that uses a lock to secure a collar/belt/strap. The other is a plate with two spikes and embeds into the leather. I am brand new to leatherwork. The pictures come from reddit user u/warm_vanilla_sugar.

The plate with spikes is a loop staple.  Weaver sells them https://www.weaverleathersupply.com/products/15s4-loop-staples and Beiler's Manufacturing has smaller quantities.  You can also sew the loop.  Sewing and blocking a loop is a higher level of finish in my opinion.

The other is the padlock post from some thing like a  'Padlock stud + plate - to secure bag flaps etc.'

Le Prevo sells them; 3rd up from the bottom on this page

I could not for all the keywords I tried searching, locate these studs online before your reply. I agree that sewing the loops will look better, I may try this. Thank you both for your help.
