formule POM

High-quality POM polymer

Structurally designed with many reinforcements, Cobra® D-LOCK is manufactured with POM-type polymer materials: polyoxymethylene. Thanks to its structure and high crystallinity, POM offers very good physical characteristics: high resistance to traction and impacts; excellent resistance to fatigue; very good resistance to chemical agents. This material displays excellent resistance to extreme temperatures ranging from -30°C to +50°C.

Very good board ventilation

COBRA® D-LOCK clips are 8 mm thick. This thickness separates the deck board from the joist. Thus, the clip enables good circulation of air and water between the joist and the deck board. This is an advantage with regards to the traditional fastening system, which flattens the board against the joist.

250 kg of stripping resistance

Our clip resists over 250 kg before warping and more than 350 kg before rupture. 

Many tests were conducted by ICAM under scientific conditions. The Cobra D-Lock clip is extremely resistant and guarantees great stability.

A 4-step installation

The Cobra® D-LOCK is very simply installed using a drilling template included in the kit. This metal square makes it possible to do pre-drilling directly on the deck board. Cobra® D-LOCK clips are then very easily screwed in, without positioning errors.

Here are the 4 steps of installation and the use of different components provided in the kit:

  1. START:Positioning and fastening of the starting board with Start/End clips.
  2. NEXT:Fastening the following boards which fit into each other with the standard Cobra® D-LOCK clip.
  3. CROSS: Fastening the 2 boards at the junction on a single 70 mm wide joist
  4. END: Fastening the last board using a Start/End clip
