What Makes Click Bond Fasteners Different?

Click Bond isn’t just a manufacturer of fasteners — we engineer complete systems that use adhesive-bonded attachment. Our products are designed to integrate seamlessly into your workflow while improving structural integrity, reducing rework, and saving weight.

Here’s what sets us apart:

  • Adhesive-bonded design – No holes, no rivets, no compromises

  • Fixture-assisted installation – Precise, repeatable, and QC-friendly

  • Lightweight and nonintrusive – Perfect for composite and metallic structures

  • Proven performance – Extensively validated in the harshest environments

  • Installation support – Engineering guidance, training, and tooling from start to finish

Top Reasons to Choose Click Bond Fasteners

1. No drilling = no damage
Click Bond fasteners attach to substrates using structural adhesives, meaning you don’t have to drill into sensitive composites, lightweight metals, or critical areas. With adhesives, you will:

  • Preserve material integrity

  • Avoid fiber disruption in composites

  • Maintain fatigue resistance

  • Eliminate the risk of corrosion

2. Reduce weight without sacrificing strength. 
Our bonded fasteners are designed to support mechanical loads — including shear, tension, peel, and vibration — while potentially reducing total part and system weight. This makes them ideal for aerospace, automotive, and UAV applications.

3. Eliminate galvanic corrosion.
By avoiding metal-to-metal fastener penetration, Click Bond systems prevent galvanic reactions between dissimilar materials — a critical concern on aircraft, ships, and EV battery housings.

4. Installation is fast and repeatable.
Fixtures hold the fastener in place during the cure process, whether on a flat panel, an interior cabin wall, or an overhead surface. This supports lean manufacturing and enables rapid field repairs.? 

5. Fasteners are versatile across applications.
Our product line includes studs, standoffs, brackets, cable tie mounts, nutplates, and more, each tailored to meet industry-specific needs across:

  • Commercial and military aircraft

  • Naval vessels and submarines

  • Spacecraft and satellites

  • Electric and autonomous vehicles

  • Rail and infrastructure

Built for Compliance and Confidence

Click Bond products are designed and manufactured to meet stringent industry requirements:

  • Most nutplates meet NASM25027 strength and reusability requirements, and aerospace-grade threaded fasteners have AS8879 aerospace threads. 

  • Products meet AS9100 & ISO 9001 quality standards.

  • Products are flight- and mission-proven across multiple platforms.

  • Qualification testing for some fasteners has included load, fatigue, vibration, and/or environmental resistance testing as required.

Our customers include major OEMs, tier-one suppliers, government agencies, and MRO facilities worldwide.

Design Support and Collaboration

From design concept to field installation, our team works with yours to:

  • Identify the right bonding solution

  • Customize solutions for your application

  • Deliver engineering documentation and training

  • Support qualification testing

We’re more than a supplier; we’re a strategic partner.

In Summary: Why Choose Click Bond?

Choosing Click Bond fasteners means choosing performance, reliability, and engineering excellence. Our adhesive-bonded systems eliminate the compromises of traditional fasteners, reduce weight, preserve structural integrity, and accelerate production.
