Make The Connection


Most people have heard of Ford, McLaren and even Lamborghini but I bet you did not know that a little ol" company from Texas made parts for these brands and much more. 

Quik-Latch was started in 2009 with idea to make a two- part connector similar to an air hose coupler. After months of engineering, prototyping and ultimately testing in a harsh racing environment Quik-Latch was born and makes five thousand latches a month now. The latches are made up of seven different parts and everything is done in house at their shop in Texas. Quik-Latch has multiple uses in automotive, RV, marine and construction and comes in many different finishes. Check them out and tell them Smitty's Rod & Custom sent you.
