Paulin Metric Lock Washers are designed to prevent nuts and bolts from coming loose. These washers have split ends that help "lock" into the mating material, thus providing a locking feature when tightened beneath a nut. Zinc-plating provides moderate corrosion resistance. Use with treated lumber in applications with like nuts and bolts of similar diameter.
Lock washers known as split lock washers place tension against a nut after tightening, to help prevent the nut from loosening. They provide a more uniform load distribution, and are great for any indoor/outdoor project. Ideal for situations where potential loosening from corrosion or vibration is a concern. Lock washers provide a locking spring action and are used to prevent nuts and bolts from coming loose from vibrations. They have split ends that help "lock" into the mating material, thus providing a locking feature when tightened beneath a nut. Steel is zinc plated for moderate protection against rust. Use hot dipped galvanized finish or stainless steel where corrorsion and rust is of concern or in exterior projects.
Washers provide a greater bearing surface under the fastener. Lock washers place tension against a nut after tightening, to help prevent the nut from loosening.
Lock Washers provide a locking spring action and prevent fasteners from loosening due to vibration. They are used with a bolt or screw to evenly spread the load over a wider area. Use stainless steel where corrorsion is and rust is of concern or in exterior applications. Best for general hardware use or where high strength is not required.
