These work well, but they're pricey; I've found that a size 10 machine bolt and a wiz nut work just as well and are much less expensive. The wiz nuts fit snugly and are difficult to remove with your fingers (though it's not a lock-nut). nut). If you rely on the plastic nuts (in this Amazon product) to easily unscrew the top part of your carrier (if your pet is difficult to remove from the door of the carrier at the vet), then you'll want to stick with this product with the plastic nuts that can easily be removed by hand (the wiz nuts work well, but not if you want to remove the lid each time you take your pet to the vet), then you'll want to stick with this product with the plastic nuts that can easily be removed by hand.

These screws are excellent; they arrived quickly and are exactly as described. However, I neglected to measure the original bolts, and they were far too short to be used anywhere other than the corners of our kennel. It won't be a problem because our dog isn't a Houdini; it's entirely my fault, not the seller's.
These were purchased after one of my pet carriers' fasteners became lost. I was afraid it wouldn't fit, but it did, and it stayed in place quite well. I bought a small quantity because I didn't think I'd need much, but it turns out I didn't need all of them, so I have plenty in case I lose any more.
These are what you'll need if your carrier is missing these. It'll set you back half of what the carrier set us back. They have the appearance of being authentic.
Because the top tightening bolt lacks wings, it is difficult to tighten. They met my needs in every other way.
