High-Strength Steel Nylon-Insert Locknuts—Grade 8
A nylon insert grips the bolt to resist loosening without damaging threads. These nuts are reusable, but their holding power lessens with each use. Made from Grade 8 steel, they're about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel locknuts.
Steel locknuts without a finish are ready to be painted or finished.
Black-oxide steel locknuts have a dark surface color and are mildly corrosion resistant in dry environments.
Zinc yellow-chromate plated steel locknuts resist corrosion in wet environments.

High-Strength Steel Thin Nylon-Insert Locknuts
Half the height of standard nylon-insert locknuts, use these in low-clearance applications or jam one against a hex nut to hold it in place. They have a nylon insert that grips the bolt to resist loosening without damaging threads. They're reusable, but their holding power lessens with each use. Made from Grade 8 steel, they're about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel thin locknuts. All have a finish that resists corrosion in wet environments.

High-Strength Steel Extra-Wide
Thin Nylon-Insert Locknuts
About half the height and 10% wider than standard nylon-insert locknuts, use these in low-clearance applications or jam one against an extra-wide hex nut to hold it in place. The nylon insert grips the bolt to resist loosening without damaging threads. They're reusable, but their holding power lessens with each use. Comparable in strength to Grade 8 bolts, these locknuts are about three times stronger than low-strength steel extra-wide thin locknuts.

Low-Strength Steel Locknuts for use with Cotter Pins
Secure these nuts by inserting a cotter pin or safety wire through the slots and a drilled hole in your bolt for mild loosening resistance. They're also known as castle nuts and slotted nuts. They’re not recommended for use on parts exposed to high vibration because the pin is prone to shearing under prolonged stress. Height includes the slots. Cotter pins are not included. A zinc plating provides corrosion resistance in wet environments.

Steel Thin Flex-Top Locknuts for Heavy Vibration
About two-thirds the height of standard flex-top locknuts, use these in low-clearance applications or jam one against a hex nut to hold it in place. Threads at the top of the nut expand to grip the bolt on all sides for a stronger hold than distorted-thread locknuts. The strength of the bolt should match the strength of the nut to prevent damaging threads. These locknuts have equivalent strength to Grade 8 steel locknuts.
Plain steel locknuts are uncoated and ready for painting.
Cadmium-plated locknuts are corrosion resistant in wet environments. The plating adds lubricity so they thread on smoothly.

High-Strength Steel Top-Lock Distorted-Thread Locknuts
An irregularly shaped thread at the top of the nut grips the bolt for a stronger hold than nylon-insert locknuts. They thread on from the bottom of the nut, allowing more threads to engage the bolt before tightening for easier installation than center-lock distorted thread locknuts. The strength of the bolt should match the strength of the nut to prevent damaging threads. They're not reusable. Comparable in strength to Grade 8 bolts, they're about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel locknuts.
Zinc-plated and zinc yellow-chromate plated locknuts resist corrosion in wet environments.

Steel-Insert Locknuts for Extreme Vibration—Grade 5
When installed, the steel insert grips the threads and lifts away from the nut body, isolating the insert from the nut’s load to resist spinoff caused by vibration. These locknuts are often used in shakers and vibrating equipment. The strength of the bolt should match the strength of the nut to prevent damaging threads. Made from Grade 5 steel, they're suitable for fastening most machinery and equipment.
