Why Lock

Why automotive buyers come to Lock

  • Joints that stay tight

    Flange bolts and serrated head screws are cold-formed in house, so prevailing torque survives road vibration instead of relying on a thread-locking patch.

  • Finishes that survive winter

    Zinc, black zinc, hot-dip galvanising and passivated A4-70, with salt-spray hours quoted per finish and tested on request.

  • Records per lot

    Dimensions, thread gauges and hardness are recorded lot by lot, and the report travels in the box with the parts.

  • Aftermarket volumes

    The same press runs a 500-piece service batch and a 100K production order, with no tooling charge either way.

  • Fasteners and brackets together

    Stamped brackets, clips and reinforcement plates come off our presses, so a joint can ship as one kit on one packing list.

  • Legacy parts stay available

    When a model is discontinued, we keep the tooling, so a service order years later does not need a new drawing or a new die.

Vehicles punish fasteners: vibration, salt spray, torque cycling and a build date that does not move. We make flange bolts, head screws and A4-70 stainless fasteners for exactly that, in grades 8.8 to 12.9, with zinc, black zinc, galvanised or passivated finishes.

Most of the automotive work we ship is cold-formed in house and inspected lot by lot — dimensions, thread gauges and hardness — with the report travelling in the box.

FAQ

Common questions

Can you match a fastener we already buy?

Send a sample or a drawing with the property class and finish. We measure it and quote the same part, or the nearest standard we can hold, and say which one it is.

Which finishes do you offer for outdoor parts?

Zinc, black zinc, hot-dip galvanising and passivated stainless A4-70. Salt-spray hours are quoted per finish, and a lot can be tested to 240 hours on request.

Do you supply the stamped parts as well as the fasteners?

Yes. Brackets, clips and reinforcement plates are stamped in the same workshop, so a fastener order can leave as a complete kit.

Have a drawing for this application?

Send it over — we will tell you what it costs and whether it is the right process.
