About half the height of standard-profile locknuts, these fit in spaces with low clearance. You can also use them as jam nuts by threading them against a hex nut to hold it in place. 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.

Irregularly shaped threads at the top of these locknuts grip the screw for a stronger hold than nylon-insert locknuts. Although the threads prevent the nut from backing out due to vibration, they also increase the effort to install and remove. To get these nuts off, you may need special tools, such as an impact wrench or propane torch. Nuts are not reusable.

Serrations bite into material for mild vibration resistance while the flange eliminates the need for a separate washer. These nuts are ideal for securing screws in oversized or irregularly shaped holes since the flange covers a larger area than standard nuts. You can use them again and again without sacrificing strength. However, the serrations may mar the surface of your material. Also known as collar nuts.

The strongest hold of all the flange nuts we offer, these have irregularly shaped threads that grip the screw to resist loosening. The threads prevent the nut from backing out due to high vibration, but they also increase the effort to install and remove. To get these nuts off, you may need special tools, such as an impact wrench or propane torch, so they are not reusable. Nuts have a flange that distributes pressure evenly across the mounting surface without the need for a separate washer. They are ideal for securing screws in oversized or irregularly shaped holes since the flange covers a larger area than standard nuts. Also known as collar nuts.

Use these locknuts to secure rotating parts subjected to mild vibration, such as the wheels on carts and hand trucks. They’re not recommended for use on parts exposed to high vibration because the pin can shear under prolonged stress. These nuts are reusable, but you'll need a new cotter pin (not included) with each use.

About two-thirds the height of standard flex-top nuts, these fit in spaces with low clearance. You can also use them as jam nuts by threading them against a hex nut to hold it in place. The top section expands to grip the screw on all sides for a stronger hold than both nylon-insert and distorted-thread locknuts. As a result, they're suitable for use in equipment with constant, vigorous vibration, such as engines. These locknuts are reusable a handful of times, but the holding power decreases with each use.

Also known as reversible locknuts, these thread on from either side, so you don't have to worry about fastening them incorrectly and damaging your screw. The irregularly shaped threads in the middle grip the screw for a stronger hold than nylon-insert locknuts. Although the threads prevent the nut from backing out due to vibration, they also increase the effort to install and remove. To get these nuts off, you may need special tools, such as an impact wrench or propane torch. Nuts are not reusable.

The top section of these nuts expands to grip the screw on all sides for a stronger hold than both nylon-insert and distorted-thread locknuts. They’re often used in equipment with constant, vigorous vibration, such as engines. These locknuts are reusable a handful of times, but the holding power decreases with each use.

These locknuts are manufactured and tested to strict U.S. military standards for material and construction. The top section expands to grip the screw on all sides for a stronger hold than both nylon-insert and distorted-thread locknuts. As a result, they're suitable for use in equipment with constant, vigorous vibration, such as engines. These locknuts are reusable a handful of times, but the holding power decreases with each use.

The most secure hold of all the locknuts we offer. The tab on the insert stops the nut from rotating, even under extreme vibration. These locknuts are ideal for equipment with constant motion or jarring starts and stops, including conveyors, shakers, and compactors. In fact, they're so secure that they're even used to fasten components on roller coasters. These locknuts are also reusable, but their holding power decreases after the first use, so you should use a new nut for the strongest possible hold.

About two-thirds the height of standard steel-insert locknuts, these fit in spaces with low clearance and offer the most secure hold of all our thin-profile locknuts. You can also use them as jam nuts by threading them against a hex nut to hold it in place. The tab on the insert stops the nut from rotating, even under extreme vibration. These locknuts are ideal for equipment with constant motion or jarring starts and stops, including conveyors, shakers, and compactors. In fact, they're so secure, they can even fasten components on roller-coasters. You can reuse them once or twice, but their holding power decreases after the first use, so you should use a new locknut for the strongest possible hold.

Similar to steel-insert locknuts, these two-piece nuts withstand extreme vibration but are easier to install. Since the two pieces spin freely by hand until you tighten them together with a wrench, they're perfect for extra long screws and threaded rods. You can reuse them a handful of times, but their hold will decrease with repeated use. Also known as drake-style locknuts.

Height includes both nuts once assembled.
