    Nylon-Insert Locknuts

    Versatile yet economical, these are the most commonly used locknuts. The nylon insert grips the screw to prevent loosening from moderate vibration without damaging threads. However, the insert may become brittle if exposed to high temperatures. These locknuts are reusable a handful of times, but the holding power decreases with each use.
    High-Strength Steel
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Locknuts. Nylon-Insert Locknuts.
    Rated Grade 8, Grade C, or Class 10, these locknuts are about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel nuts. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your screw has a comparable strength rating.
    Zinc-Yellow-Chromate-Plated Steel—With a more durable finish than clear zinc plating, these nuts are suitable for most wet and outdoor environments. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that stainless steel can.
    Black-Oxide Steel—Typically chosen for their appearance, these nuts have a dark, matte coating to create a finished look. They offer minimal corrosion resistance, so they're best for dry environments.
    Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these nuts to rust.

    Grade 5 Titanium—The best of both worlds, these locknuts are lightweight like aluminum and as corrosion-resistant as 316 stainless steel. They're ideal for use in chemical-processing and water-treatment facilities since they stand up to strong acids and other harsh chemicals. Grade 5 is the strongest of all the titanium alloys due to its higher aluminum and vanadium content.

    Serrated Flange Nuts

    Serrations bite into material for mild vibration resistance while the flange eliminates the need for a separate washer. These nuts are ideal for securing screws in oversized or irregularly shaped holes since the flange covers a larger area than standard nuts. You can use them again and again without sacrificing strength. However, the serrations may mar the surface of your material. Also known as collar nuts.

    Thin-Profile Nylon-Insert Locknuts

    About half the height of standard-profile locknuts, these fit in spaces with low clearance. You can also use them as jam nuts by threading them against a hex nut to hold it in place. The nylon insert grips the screw to prevent loosening from moderate vibration without damaging threads. However, the insert may become brittle if exposed to high temperatures. These locknuts are reusable a handful of times, but the holding power decreases with each use.

    Nylon-Insert Flange Nuts

    A nylon insert grips the screw for a stronger hold than a serrated flange, without damaging threads or marring the surface of your material. However, the insert may become brittle if exposed to high temperatures. These nuts have a flange that distributes pressure evenly across the mounting surface, so you don't need a separate washer. They are ideal for securing screws in oversized or irregularly shaped holes since the flange covers a larger area than standard nuts. You can reuse them a handful of times, but their holding power will decrease with each use. Also known as collar nuts.

    Top-Lock Distorted-Thread Locknuts

    Irregularly shaped threads at the top of these locknuts grip the screw for a stronger hold than nylon-insert locknuts. Although the threads prevent the nut from backing out due to vibration, they also increase the effort to install and remove. To get these nuts off, you may need special tools, such as an impact wrench or propane torch. Nuts are not reusable.

    Distorted-Thread Flange Nuts

    The strongest hold of all the flange nuts we offer, these have irregularly shaped threads that grip the screw to resist loosening. The threads prevent the nut from backing out due to high vibration, but they also increase the effort to install and remove. To get these nuts off, you may need special tools, such as an impact wrench or propane torch, so they are not reusable. Nuts have a flange that distributes pressure evenly across the mounting surface without the need for a separate washer. They are ideal for securing screws in oversized or irregularly shaped holes since the flange covers a larger area than standard nuts. Also known as collar nuts.

    Heavy-Profile Nylon-Insert Locknuts

    About 10% wider and taller than standard-profile locknuts, these handle heavier loads by distributing them over a larger area. The nylon insert grips the screw to prevent loosening from moderate vibration without damaging threads. However, the insert may become brittle if exposed to high temperatures. These locknuts are reusable a handful of times, but the holding power decreases with each use.

    Locknuts for use with Cotter Pins

    Use these locknuts to secure rotating parts subjected to mild vibration, such as the wheels on carts and hand trucks. They’re not recommended for use on parts exposed to high vibration because the pin can shear under prolonged stress. These nuts are reusable, but you'll need a new cotter pin (not included) with each use.

    Locknuts with External-Tooth Lock Washer

    To save on assembly time, these locknuts combine a hex nut with a free-spinning lock washer, so you can twist them into place by hand. Once the nut is against your material surface, tighten it down with a wrench or socket to get the teeth to bite. Although these nuts install more quickly than nylon-insert locknuts, they don't hold up as well against vibration and can mar your material. As long as the washer stays intact, you can reuse them. Also known as Keps and K-lock nuts.

    Secure parts that rotate counterclockwise, such as the propeller on a mixer. Also known as reversible locknuts, these thread on from either side, so you don't have to worry about fastening them incorrectly and damaging your screw. The irregularly shaped threads in the middle grip the screw for a stronger hold than nylon-insert locknuts. Although the threads prevent the nut from backing out due to vibration, they also increase the effort to install and remove. To get these nuts off, you may need special tools, such as an impact wrench or propane torch. Nuts are not reusable.

    Steel-Insert Locknuts for Extreme Vibration

    The most secure hold of all the locknuts we offer. The tab on the insert stops the nut from rotating, even under extreme vibration. These locknuts are ideal for equipment with constant motion or jarring starts and stops, including conveyors, shakers, and compactors. In fact, they're so secure that they're even used to fasten components on roller coasters. These locknuts are also reusable, but their holding power decreases after the first use, so you should use a new nut for the strongest possible hold.

    Heavy-Profile Flex-Top Locknuts for Heavy Vibration

    About 10% wider and taller than standard flex-top nuts, these handle heavier loads by distributing them over a larger area. The top section expands to grip the screw on all sides for a stronger hold than both nylon-insert and distorted-thread locknuts. As a result, they're suitable for use in equipment with constant, vigorous vibration, such as engines. These locknuts are reusable a handful of times, but the holding power decreases with each use.

    Cap Nuts with Threadlocker

    These nuts not only conceal and protect protruding screw threads, they also resist loosening from mild vibration. They have a nylon patch bonded to their threads that grips screws for a tighter hold than standard cap nuts. They’re reusable a handful of times, but the patch’s holding power decreases with each use. Also known as acorn nuts, they have a smooth, rounded head that creates a finished look.

    Serrated Locknuts

    Since these nuts twist on by hand and don't require much torque, they're the easiest locknuts to install. The serrated edge grips surfaces to secure equipment that experiences mild vibration, such as panel covers and small electric motors. You can reuse these locknuts over and over again, but the serrations may mar your surface.

    Thin-Profile Steel-Insert Locknuts for Extreme Vibration

    About two-thirds the height of standard steel-insert locknuts, these fit in spaces with low clearance and offer the most secure hold of all our thin-profile locknuts. You can also use them as jam nuts by threading them against a hex nut to hold it in place. The tab on the insert stops the nut from rotating, even under extreme vibration. These locknuts are ideal for equipment with constant motion or jarring starts and stops, including conveyors, shakers, and compactors. In fact, they're so secure, they can even fasten components on roller-coasters. You can reuse them once or twice, but their holding power decreases after the first use, so you should use a new locknut for the strongest possible hold.

    Distorted-Thread Cap Nuts

    For a stronger hold than nylon-insert cap nuts, these have irregularly shaped threads that grip the screw to resist loosening. The threads prevent the nut from backing out in high-vibration applications, but they also increase the effort to install and remove. To get these nuts off, you may need special tools, such as an impact wrench or propane torch. They have a smooth, rounded head that conceals and protects protruding screw threads while creating a finished look. Nuts are not reusable.
