The H-Loc™ Cleat is a precision-formed starter component designed to anchor and align the first course of H-Loc™ exposed-fastener metal roof panels at the eave or base condition. It provides a straight, secure fastening surface that helps ensure proper panel engagement, consistent rib alignment, and clean panel starts across the roof system.

Manufactured from durable galvanized steel and matched to Central States H-Loc™ panel geometry, the cleat improves installation accuracy while reinforcing panel attachment at critical starting points.

Why Builders Use H-Loc™ Cleats

• Improves straightness across panel runs
• Provides secure fastening at eave/start points
• Helps ensure proper rib engagement
• Cleaner, more consistent roof layout
• Profile-matched for H-Loc™ panels
• Durable galvanized steel construction

Typical Applications

• Eave panel starts on metal roofs
• Base alignment for exposed-fastener panels
• Panel layout control on long roof runs
• Residential, agricultural, and light commercial metal buildings
