Key-Locking Threaded Inserts for Soft Metal
 |
Add strong threads in soft metal, such as aluminum. The keys on these inserts drive into holes to hold more securely than thread-locking or helical inserts. They prevent slipping and rotating, so they’re stable enough for use in vehicle or aerospace parts that experience heavy vibration. These inserts are comparable to Keensert inserts.
To install, drill and tap a hole in your material. Then, thread the insert onto the installation tool and screw it into the hole. Place the tool over the keys and hit it with a hammer to drive them in.
Standard Wall—Stronger than thin-wall inserts, these are your go-to choice for threading most holes.
Extra-Thick Wall—Stronger than standard- and thin-wall inserts, use them to reduce the size of tapped holes or replace threads that have been drilled out.
Black Phosphate-Coated Steel—These inserts resist occasional moisture.
18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these inserts resist rust and mild chemicals.

Mil.-Spec. Key-Locking Threaded Inserts For Soft Metal
 |
These inserts are manufactured and tested to meet or compare to strict standards adopted by the U.S. military. The keys drive into aluminum and other soft metal for a secure hold that won't slip or rotate, even in vibrating vehicle or aerospace parts. These inserts are comparable to Keensert inserts.
To install, drill and tap a hole in your material. Then, thread the insert onto the installation tool and screw it into the hole. Place the tool over the keys and hit it with a hammer to drive them in.
Extra-Thick Wall—Stronger than standard- and thin-wall inserts, use them to reduce the size of tapped holes or replace threads that have been drilled out.
18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these inserts resist rust and mild chemicals.
