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.
Thin Wall—Use these inserts near the edge of workpieces or wherever you only have space for a small hole. They're also lighter than standard and extra-thick wall inserts for applications with strict weight limitations.
18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these inserts resist rust and mild chemicals.

Screw-Locking Seize-Resistant Key-Locking Threaded Inserts for Soft Metal
 |
Create the tightest hold in aluminum and other soft metal without screws sticking. The lubricant on these inserts eases installation, and the irregularly shaped threads won’t let screws back out from vibration. Inserts have keys that drive into material to prevent them from slipping or rotating in the hole.
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.
Thin Wall—Use these inserts near the edge of workpieces or wherever you only have space for a small hole. They're also lighter than standard and extra-thick wall inserts for applications with strict weight limitations.
Dry-Film-Lubricated 18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these inserts resist rust and mild chemicals.
