Unlock unparalleled efficiency and precision in your panel installation projects with the Button-fix™ Type 2 - Compact Drop-down + Button - Pack of 100. This innovative fixing solution provides a strong, secure, and concealed method for attaching panels, acoustic boards, signage, and much more to substrates, making it the ideal choice for professionals demanding high quality and ease of use.
Robust & Secure Fixing: Engineered for demanding applications, the Type 2 Compact Drop-down fix boasts an exceptional tensile strength and shear load capacity, ensuring your panels stay firmly in place.
Invisible Fastening: Achieve a clean, modern aesthetic by completely concealing the fixing mechanism. The panels are simply clicked into place, leaving no visible hardware.
Unique Drop-down Functionality: The integrated drop-down action allows for easy upward panel engagement, followed by a secure downward drop, simplifying installation and removal, especially in tight or difficult-to-reach spaces.
Compact Design: The smaller footprint is perfect for applications where space is a premium, or where a less intrusive fixing is preferred.
Rapid Installation: Designed for speed and efficiency, the Button-fix system drastically reduces installation time compared to traditional methods, saving you valuable labour costs.
Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide array of materials including wood, MDF, composite panels, acoustic panels, and decorative surfaces.

| Gap Between Panels | Approximately 3mm when engaged | --- | --- |
| Question (User Intent) | Answer (Value Proposition) |
| How does the drop-down action benefit my installation? | The unique drop-down mechanism allows the panel to be lifted slightly and lowered into the final, secure position. This is ideal for installations where you need to attach a panel in a restricted space or near an adjacent surface, offering easy alignment and flexible panel removal. |
| Is Button-fix Type 2 a strong panel fixing? | Yes, it provides a high-strength, professional-grade solution. It is designed to handle significant shear and tensile loads and is a reliable alternative to traditional mechanical fasteners. |
| Can I remove the panels once they are fixed? | Absolutely. The system is designed to create a demountable and reusable panel installation. You simply reverse the drop-down/lift action to release the panel for maintenance or access. |
| What materials is this fastener suitable for? | The Button-fix system is extremely versatile, suitable for fixing interior and exterior panels made from materials like MDF, plywood, solid wood, laminate, composites, and decorative sheet materials. |
| Why choose the Compact version? | The compact size is specifically engineered for applications with limited space or for smaller, lighter panels. It offers the full security of the Type 2 mechanism in a smaller footprint. |
Order your Button-fix™ - Type 2 - Compact Drop-down + Button - Pack of 100 today and start experiencing faster, stronger, and completely concealed panel installations.
