Stainless steel socket capscrews with Wire lock holes drilled as per customers specification.


Wire locking is a very low cost and entirely effective method locking nuts or hex headed screws and bolts screwed into surfaces. It is mainly used when a number of screws have to be locked. Holes are predrilled in the items being locked and when all of the items have been fully tightened the wire is threaded through the holes and the ends are twisted to prevent loosening.. The routing of the wire is such that it prevents the screws from unscrewing. The wire is selected as non-corrodible ductile steel or brass wire of suitable small gauge is used for this purpose.
