These metric locknuts have an irregularly shaped thread at the top of the nut that grips the bolt for a stronger hold than nylon-insert locknuts.

Comparable in strength to Grade 8 bolts, these locknuts are about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel locknuts.

These Grade 9 locknuts are about 20% stronger than high-strength steel locknuts and are often used in heavy machinery, such as earth-moving equipment.

These Grade 8 locknuts are about three times stronger than low-strength steel distorted-thread locknuts.

Use these locknuts for light duty fastening applications, such as securing access panels.

These flange locknuts are comparable in strength to Grade 8 bolts.

Grip metric bolts more securely than nylon-insert flange locknuts—the irregularly shaped threads on these locknuts hold extra tight. They resist vibration and sudden shocks, even after multiple uses.
