Kennel Hardware - Silver 12 Pack (12 Pairs of Nuts Bolts) Pet Carrier Metal Replacement Fasteners

We avoided the hassle and expense of returning a kennel that came with faulty hardware (bolts not long enough) by purchasing this sturdy hardware. Highly recommend.

These came with 8 pairs of metal nuts and bolts (and other misc screws) and worked just as expected. We moved out of state and our 3 kennels (size S, M, and XL) came with plastic nuts and bolts, which is not compliant with air travel requirements (by United). The S and M crates used up 8 pairs each but the XL required, I believe, 12 pairs in total. It was very easy to affix them on our Petmate Skykennels . No problems at checks-in!

This works great and make the kennel even more sturdy than with the original hardware.

Worked on my ancient cat carrier.

My husky rarely uses her kennel and to save space I store it disassembled. I put the hardware in a bag taped to the kennel and, of course, when I went to use it again the bag was gone (kennel gremlins, I assume). So I needed new hardware.I was pleased with my purchase-the hardware is all metal (rather than the usual plastic caps) and the package comes with a variety of screw sizes. This is especially handy if you happen to have a few kennels with missing bolts of different sizes that you do not need to use all at once.I stored these away someplace I cannot lose them (or so I tell my self). But, if I do, I'd certainly buy more of these.

Perhaps there are some brands/types of crates that these would work well on, but if you have a remington or similar crate, don't waste your money. The bolt head is tiny and likely to tear through the plastic of the crate. Frankly I feel that the plastic fasteners my crates came with are more secure than this inadequate hardware. I'm off to the hardware store where I should have gone in the first place, to buy secure bolts and fender washers. This was a disappointing purchase.Others have pointed out that this hardware is specifically made for PetMate Sky Kennel crates, and a quick look at this brand makes it obvious why. PM Sky kennels have small round holes that this hardware will fit into. If you have any other brand, you're better off going to a hardware store as I did.

1/2 inch or less too short for my standard kennel was also only 11 long ones and nuts. The nuts are easy to turn but not enough of them and can’t return 30 day return window after purchasing different ones from ace hardware these will just go unused unfortunately dont fit any kennels we have

It is designed for Medium size Petmate Sky Kennel. It is sturdy and seems like quality materials. Use Sentry Solutions dry lube anti-corrosion solution before installing them. It dries out, so no oily residue is left. Dont forget to use washers that are included, it keeps them tight. You may also consider using Locktite low strenth bolt adhesive to prevent any slippage of bolts and nuts.
