A hook and loop fastener (commonly known as Velcro) comprises two components. The "hook" side is comprised of tiny, stiff hooks, and the "loops" side is made up loops that are soft and fuzzy. When pressed together, the components form a strong but removable bond. These fasteners are used in a variety of industries, including electronics, automotive and other.

George de Mestral developed the original hook-and-loop fastener in 1941. On a hunting trip to the Alps He noticed the burrs of burdock that stuck to clothing, animal fur and other surfaces. He realized that the burrs contained hundreds of tiny loops which caught on the fabric and other surfaces. With this in mind, de Mestral conceived the idea of creating a fastener using hooks and loops that would tie materials in a reversible manner. The material he chose was nylon. After several tests and figuring out a way to make production more efficient his product entered commercial production under the VELCRO brand name.

Magnetic hook locks are best used for pegboard, slatwall and gridwall hooks with a greater diameter. They may slide off of thinner hooks. The lock is powered by DC power and comes with one or two coils, which produces the magnetic force that clings to the hook and keep it locked.

Magnetic door locks are also known as maglocks and are a common choice for security in commercial and industrial areas. When energized by an electromagnetic force, it locks the door by drawing an electromagnet towards an armature plate that is attached to the frame. The strength of the magnetic force differs dependent on the size of lock and voltage.

Commercial magnetic locks are "fail-safe" and will open if power fails, allowing people to get out in the event of a crisis or interruption of the electrical supply. These locks are also commonly used to secure doors leading to areas that contain delicate or hazardous materials, preventing unauthorized access.

Electric strike door locks, on the other hand, are typically installed as part of an access control system that allows or restrict access based on the requirements for identity, credentials and schedules.
