For years, professional AV technicians and broadcast crews have been forced to rely on flimsy, consumer-grade hook-and-loop straps to manage expensive cables and equipment—a mismatch between the tool and the job that often leads to premature wear and frustrating failures. That gap in the market has now been addressed by a California manufacturer with a new product designed specifically for the demands of the field.
The Cord-Lox® HangMaster™ ProSeries is engineered for professional AV, broadcast, and staging environments, offering a 60-pound hanging capacity and 50% more open/close cycles than comparable products.

CHULA VISTA, CA, UNITED STATES, October 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The days of using garden-hose ties for broadcast cabling may finally be over. TFI Custom Fabrication has officially launched the Cord-Lox® HangMaster™, a heavy-duty hook-and-loop strap purpose-built for professional audio, video, lighting, broadcast, staging, fleet vehicle, and warehouse operations. Each strap is manufactured in the USA using genuine VELCRO® Brand hook & loop, and it is now available for purchase at tfifab.com and through authorized resellers.
The HangMaster™ distinguishes itself from the consumer alternatives that most crews have historically settled for, with a 60-pound hanging capacity and a durability rating that delivers 50% more open/close cycles than several competing products. These two key performance specs alone mark a significant upgrade for professionals who depend on their gear day in and day out.
Beyond its raw strength, the strap is built to withstand harsh conditions. Its VELCRO® Brand hook & loop construction is UV-stabilized and weatherproof, and it carries a 220°F operating temperature rating, making it well-suited for demanding outdoor, touring, and industrial environments where lesser straps would quickly degrade.
Installation is also designed for maximum convenience. Each strap features an integrated, rust-resistant grommet with a 0.63-inch inside diameter, allowing it to be mounted directly onto pegboards, hooks, or nails without requiring any additional hardware. For crews working in fast-paced settings, ergonomic pull tabs enable one-handed release even when wearing work gloves, saving valuable time during setup and teardown.
TFI Custom Fabrication’s General Manager, Carlos Gonzalez, explains the rationale behind the new product: “We see several solutions for hanging, managing, and storing hoses, air and water lines, and cables sold in various markets. But most of those products are made offshore with inferior materials and construction. Because our customers demand quality fasteners built to last, we created this new Cord-Lox® Brand fastener from the ground up with VELCRO® Brand hook & loop material. We source higher-quality materials and fabricate the finished fasteners at our factory in California. The end result is a superior product that we are proud to manufacture.”
The HangMaster™ is available in four different sizes to suit a variety of cable diameters and storage setups: 1.5 in x 10 in 10-packs, 2 in x 15in 5-packs, 2 in x 18 in 5-packs, and 2 in x 24 in 2-packs. For larger operations, volume pricing is available, along with custom sizes, colors, and wholesale options tailored for production companies, staging houses, and fleet operators.
