    Locknuts with External-Tooth Lock Washer

    Image of Product. Front orientation. ZoomedIn view. Locknuts. 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.
    Medium-Strength Steel
    These Grade 5 or Class 8 nuts are your go-to for fastening most machinery and equipment. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your screw has a comparable strength rating.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—A step up from plain steel, the zinc plating withstands occasional exposure to moisture.
    Black-Zinc-Plated Steel—The dark zinc plating withstands occasional exposure to moisture while creating a finished look.

    Narrow-Profile Locknuts with External-Tooth Lock Washer

    Since they're about 20% narrower, these locknuts fit in tight spaces where standard-profile nuts won't fit. They combine a hex nut with a free-spinning lock washer, so you can twist them into place by hand and save on assembly time. 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.

    Locknuts with Spring-Lock Washer

    The curved, spring-like washer grips surfaces more tightly than tooth-lock washers for better vibration resistance. These locknuts also install just as quickly since you can twist them into place by hand. Once the nut is against your material, tighten it down with a wrench or socket. The washer's smooth edges won't mar the surface like teeth can. As long as the washer stays intact, you can reuse these locknuts.
