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
Rated Grade 8, Grade C, or Class 10, these locknuts are about 25% stronger than medium-strength nuts. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your screw has a comparable strength rating.
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.
