Memory failure; what is this clip used for?

[Outlawmws]

I KNOW I see and probably used these before I got three in a Larsen bin box, and I know its for holding something down, the hook catches an edge, and the bent part applies direct pressure and the screw (just one that was handy, probably not the real deal) applies the pressure.

But For the life of me I cannot rememger what it is used for specifically, and its bugging me to death!

This should be the easy one, I got another harder one coming...

You need a ruler in the picture. It holds a frame in an extrusion.

Screen window in the door.

Sink installation?

Screen window in the door.

Yes. I have the same style clips on my door to hold the screen or storm window in.

Sink installation?

I vote for this^^^

Yes. I have the same style clips on my door to hold the screen or storm window in.

With that size bolt????

Bingo! I was thinking window hardware, I didn't make the leap to a storm door...

Thanks guys!

I said it didn't come with that screw, that was just handy. it's like a#10 screw

They also hold rimless stainless steel sinks to the underside of the counter [I think].

I have used these to install rimless stainless steel sinks.

Screen door or a window with that type of screen holder.

That is too small for an under-sink clip. It would be longer for that purpose. This is a screen door clip. The screw would have a knurled top.

It reminds me of a clip I used to see holding a camper top down on a pickup truck

Somewhat similar, but the camper clamps are way bigger...

That's made to stop an aluminum window or sliding door from opening. If someone should defeat the locking mechanism they still wouldn't be able to open it because this little device is clamped onto the door/window tracks at the top r bottom or both. People use them mostly on windows to allow it to be opened enough for ventilation but not so far as to allow a person entry.

No, it's definitely not for window security. Here is one of those next to the original clip I posted (and George for scale, sorry I forgot that the first time)

The link Exceller8 posted sure looks right, but dang, I'm not sure I'd trust a sink to a clip or even several of them that ****** small!

Half of a memory retainer. A long thing with a head like a roofing nail goes in one ear and out the other, capturing the stuff you are about to forget, and the clip tightens on the protruding end. I need one but forget which catalog it's in.

LOL. Thank you.

I have a bunch of these in a bin, also had a memory lapse as to where they came from. Maybe it's infectious.
