    Alignment Locks

    Precisely align and lock together your mold halves, so they stay in place during high-pressure injection molding. They're used as the final alignment between your mold halves, after leader pins and bushings (not included) guide your mold halves close together.

    Top locks install where the two halves of your mold meet, often called the parting line. Top locks require separately machined pockets on each half of your mold for installation. Because you’re machining both sides separately, you’ll need to take extra care to make sure the two pockets are aligned.
