Low-Strength Steel Nylon-Insert Locknuts

These locknuts 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. About half the strength of medium-strength steel locknuts, they're for light duty fastening applications, such as securing access panels.
Zinc-plated steel locknuts are corrosion resistant in wet environments.

Low-Strength Steel Thin Nylon-Insert Locknuts

These locknuts are about half the height of standard nylon-insert locknuts. Use them in light duty low-clearance applications or jam one against a 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.

Stainless Steel Flex-Top Locknuts for Heavy Vibration

These locknuts have good chemical resistance and may be mildly magnetic. 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.

Mil. Spec. Low-Strength Steel Distorted-Thread Flange Locknuts

Choose these flange locknuts for their adherence to strict military standards for material and construction. They have an irregularly-shaped thread that grips the bolt for a stronger hold than nylon-insert flange locknuts. A flange that distributes pressure where the nut meets the material surface, eliminating the need for a separate washer. They're not reusable. A cadmium yellow-chromate plating provides corrosion resistance in wet environments. Height includes the flange.
Locknuts with lubricant keep screws from binding to the locknuts while you tighten them. They’re often used with screws made from soft metals, such as aluminum, which are more likely to bind to the locknuts than harder materials such as steel.

Stainless Steel Distorted-Thread Flange Locknuts

These flange locknuts have excellent resistance to chemicals and salt water. They have an irregularly shaped thread that grips the bolt for a stronger hold than nylon-insert flange locknuts. A flange distributes pressure where the nut meets the material surface, eliminating the need for a separate washer. These nuts may be mildly magnetic. Height includes the flange.
A286 stainless steel nuts cannot be reused. Those with lubricant thread onto bolts smoothly.

Thread-Forming Flange Locknuts

These nylon flange locknuts form threads as they're tightened to resist vibration. The flange distributes pressure where the nut meets the material surface, eliminating the need for a separate washer. They're not reusable. Made from nylon 6/6, they're chemical resistant, nonconductive, and lightweight. Height includes the flange.

Nylon-Insert Press-Fit Locknuts for Sheet Metal

These press-fit nuts have a nylon insert that grips threads to resist loosening and knurls on the bottom of the nut that hold them firmly in place. Press them into a drilled or punched hole with an installation tool or an arbor press. Installation requires access to both sides of the panel.
