Why Choose Lock Bolts?

Lock bolts are a type of fastener known for their exceptional strength and reliability. They are designed to securely join materials, making them ideal for applications requiring a strong and long-lasting connection.

Lock bolts consist of two main parts: a pin and a collar. During installation, the pin is inserted into the pre-drilled holes of the materials to be fastened. The collar is then placed over the pin from the back side of the materials. Using lock bolt guns or Huck^® bolt guns, the collar is swaged, creating a tight and secure grip. This unique installation process ensures a vibration-resistant and tamper-proof connection.

Advantages Of Lock Bolts

• Exceptional Strength: Lock bolts provide superior strength, making them ideal for heavy-duty applications where safety and reliability are paramount.
• Vibration Resistance: The unique swaging process creates a vibration-resistant connection, preventing loosening over time, even in high-vibration environments.
• Tamper-Proof: Once installed, lock bolts are difficult to remove, enhancing security and deterring unauthorised access.
• Weather Resistance: Lock bolts are designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

What is the difference between a Lock Bolt and a Huck^® Bolt?

In terms of functionality, there is no distinction between a Lock Bolt and a Huck^® Bolt. The term “Huck Bolts” specifically refers to the lock bolts that carry the Huck® brand, now marketed by Howmet Fastening Systems. Due to the strong reputation of Huck^® in the industry, “Huck Bolt” has become synonymous with lock bolts in general. It’s important to note that numerous manufacturers produce high-performance lock bolts utilised across various industries.
