Having trouble getting the strap tight around our Binderboard
| 1. The metal hook (lower end) is open on the inside, ready to hook on to the C-shaped bar of the buckle (upper end). | 
     | 
  
| 2.  Place the strap under the Binderboard | 
    
     | 
  
| 3.  Close-up view of hook attached to 
    C-bar.  Top strap is the loose end.  Bottom strap goes around the 
    Binderboard | 
    
     | 
  
| 4. Pull the loose end of the strap tight around the board. Buckle is still open. | 
     | 
  
| 5. Lift the buckle to the left to tighten. | 
     | 
  
| 6. The closed buckle keeps the boards tight. | 
     | 
  
| 7.   You can cut off excess strap, if 
    you wish.  After cutting, seal the edge of the strap by running it 
    through a candle flame quickly once or twice.  (You don't have to 
    remove the strap from the board to do this, but it may be easier to do so.) | 
    
     | 
  
| If you still have difficulty closing the strap tightly, contact us , or try our bolts. | |
