Shim Stock
 |
Cut into custom shapes to create shims that suit your needs. With thickness tolerances as fine as a strand of hair, the shims will precisely align, space, and level components on dies, presses, and machinery.
You can stack multiple shims to achieve your exact thickness, but stacking more than four may cause them to shift. Remember, fewer shims are better, so a couple of thicker shims are more stable than a bunch of thin shims.
Sheets—Shim stock comes in sheets that are flat packed.
18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor areas because it resists rust. However, it will corrode or pit when exposed to salt water and chemicals.
Stress-Resistant Spring Steel—Harder and holds its shape better than carbon steel. Use it for high-stress applications, such as leveling heavy machinery. It's best for dry areas since moisture will cause it to rust.
Temper Rating—Choose half hard to create shims that you’ll need to bend or shape. Opt for full hard to make stronger shims that will maintain their shape
under loads.

Shims for Hinges
 |
Say goodbye to annoying sticking, binding, or rubbing doors. Slide these shims behind your door’s hinge leaf to align it in the jamb, restoring smooth opening and closing. All are made of plastic to resist moisture and prevent rot. They have a universal hole pattern, so all you need to measure is your hinge height, and they can be cut with a knife for a perfect fit.

Heavy-Vibration-Resistant Spring Lock Washers for Socket Head Screws
 |
Stop socket head screws from wiggling loose on equipment with constant, vigorous vibration, such as engines, turbines, and generators. These washers have a small diameter to fit under screws with narrow heads. Similar to a spring, they flatten under pressure to add tension between mating surfaces. As long as the washers aren't deformed or otherwise damaged, you can reuse them indefinitely without losing locking strength. Also known as conical washers and Belleville washers.
Stack multiple washers in the same direction to double or triple how much weight they can bear. Stack washers in opposite directions for better deflection, which means they compress further and withstand more shock and movement without loosening.
18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these washers won't rust when exposed to moisture. However, they can't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
Zinc-Plated Steel—A common choice for areas with occasional exposure to moisture.
Top-and-Bottom Serration—Adds friction for extra gripping power.
