A better school supply program
Stop piecing the project together from separate vendors.
Lockfast combines the products school buyers usually have to source separately: branded and value-priced hook and loop, custom converting, hook-receptive display fabric and finished fabric panels. That means fewer purchase orders, fewer mismatched materials and a cleaner path from sample to district-wide reorder.

Ask a Lockfast specialistWhat is the difference between 3M and LOCKFAST hook and loop for schools?
3M hook and loop is the branded choice when a named product, known construction or particular adhesive system is required. LOCKFAST branded hook and loop is a lower-cost choice for many everyday classroom display, organization and learning-board applications. We can convert either into the finished format your district needs.

Yes. Available converted formats can include custom-width rolls, cut-to-length strips, dots, coins, squares, matched sets, adhesive-backed pieces, sheets and counted kits.
Does Tempo fabric work with hook fasteners?
Yes. Tempo is a hook-receptive display loop fabric used for bulletin boards, visual schedules, interactive classroom walls, partitions, custom panels and frequently changed displays.
Can you help match a fastener to an existing bulletin board or fabric?
Yes. Send the fabric name, a sample, photographs and the current fastener. Testing a sample is recommended before placing a large district order.

Formal school district purchase orders are reviewed for open-account terms. Approved accounts may receive Net 30 terms. Bank checks, ACH payments and most major credit cards are also accepted.
