Mini Quick-Release Hood Pins, Black Anodized, Pair
These mini push-button quick-release latches give your hood, trunk, or body panel a clean, low-profile hold-down point without the bulk of oversized racing hood pins. Sold as a pair, they use a tool-free push-button release so you can open the panel in seconds without lining up a separate pin and clip. The black anodized finish keeps the look stealthy on dark-colored vehicles while resisting corrosion better than unfinished aluminum.
Key Features
- Push-Button Quick Release - No tools or separate lanyard clips needed to open or close the latch
- 150 lb Pulling Force Rating - Built from T-6 aluminum and stainless steel to hold panels secure at speed
- Black Anodized Finish - Corrosion-resistant finish that blends in on dark-colored vehicles
- Two Head Size Options - Choose a 1 inch or 1.25 inch head size to match your mounting hole
- Compact Low-Profile Design - Small footprint compared to traditional hood pin and clip setups
- Multi-Purpose Mounting - Works on hoods, trunks, deck lids, and other body panels that need a quick-release hold point
Fitment

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these fit any car or truck?
Yes. These latches are a universal design and are not limited to a specific vehicle, as long as the mounting surface can accommodate the head size and mounting stud length listed in Specifications.
What is the difference between the 1 inch and 1.25 inch options?
The size refers to the diameter of the latch head. Choose the size that matches the mounting hole or clearance on your panel.
Do I need tools to open or close these latches?
No. They use a push-button release, so no tools or separate lanyard clips are needed to open or close them.
Can these be used on panels other than a hood?
Yes. They are commonly used on trunks, deck lids, and other body panels in addition to hoods.
How much weight or pulling force can each latch hold?
Each latch is rated to withstand up to 150 lbs of pulling force.
Will the black finish match other black hardware on my car?
The black anodized finish is a low-profile, matte-leaning black that blends well with most dark-colored trim and hardware, though exact shade matching can vary by lighting and surface.
Does installation require drilling?
Yes. A mounting hole sized to the latch head must be drilled or already present in the panel before installation.
Do these latches include mounting hardware?
Yes. Each pair includes the mounting studs, hex nuts, and flat washers needed to install the two latch bodies.
Installation Instructions
- Determine the mounting location on the panel and confirm there is enough clearance behind it for the mounting stud length.
- Drill a mounting hole sized to match the latch head diameter you ordered, 1 inch or 1.25 inch.
- Insert the latch body through the mounting hole from the outer panel surface.
- From the underside, thread the included stainless steel mounting stud into the latch body through the panel.
- Secure the stud with the included flat washer and hex nut, tightening until snug against the panel.
- Test the push-button release several times before driving to confirm smooth, secure operation.
