What stainless steel grades are available?
We offer 316 and 304/18-8 stainless steel, plus aluminium as needed.
Can I order completely custom brackets instead of standard sizes?
Yes. Send us your drawing or specification and we will fabricate to match.
Can I use a standard nut with a lock washer instead of a lock nut?
In some cases yes, but lock nuts usually provide more consistent resistance to vibration.
Which is better for marine applications, 304 or 316 stainless steel lock nuts?
316 stainless steel is preferred in marine or corrosive environments because it resists corrosion better. Shop stainless steel lock nuts.
Do I need a lock nut for outdoor applications?
If there is vibration or movement, choose a lock nut. For low-vibration outdoor use, a standard stainless steel hex nut may be enough.
