Black-Phosphate Steel Key-Locking Inserts
A black-phosphate finish provides mild corrosion resistance. Drive the keys into the surrounding material for a more secure hold than thread-locking inserts. Use them to repair or change threads in soft metals such as aluminum. They’re comparable to Keensert® inserts. Installation requires a drill bit, a standard tap, an installation tool, and a hammer.
Choose inserts with a thick wall for greater strength than thin-wall inserts, or to fill a large hole with stripped threads.
