Aker Leather 561 Single Key Strap for Duty Belts, Made in USA

Overview of the Aker Leather 561 Single Key Strap | A561-BP-CH

The Aker Leather 561 Single Key Strap (MPN A561-BP-CH, plus six other finish and hardware versions) keeps your keys on your duty belt instead of buried in a pocket. This slim leather key holder pairs a matching spring hook with a split key ring, so you can unclip your keys and put them back in seconds.

Patrol officers and corrections staff reach for keys all shift long. A strap on the belt puts them in the same spot every time, so you are not digging through pockets while you juggle a radio, cuffs, and a flashlight.

Built for the Duty Belt

• Fits belts up to 2.25 inches wide, per Aker Leather
• Premium cowhide in a plain or basket weave finish
• Chrome, brass, or black hardware to match your other gear

Made in the USA

Aker Leather has built duty leather in the United States since 1981.

Key Features

• Slim single key strap: Aker Leather designed the 561 to carry one key ring without adding bulk to a crowded belt.
• Matching spring hook and split ring: The hook clips your keys on and off quickly, and the split ring holds them securely.
• Snap-on or no-snap attachment: Snap versions mount and remove without taking off your belt. The Sewn (no-snap) versions slide on and stay put.
• Premium cowhide leather: Aker states the strap is made with premium cowhide and solid brass snaps.
• Two finishes: Plain or basket weave, to match your duty belt and accessories.
• Three hardware colors: Chrome, brass, or black, so it matches your buckle and keepers.
• Made in the USA: Built by Aker Leather, a U.S. maker of duty leather since 1981.

Corrections officers carry facility keys on it so they stay attached and in the same spot through every shift. Security guards, tow operators, and public works crews use it to keep work keys on the belt instead of in a pocket where they can fall out.
