Shur-Lok Co

Shur-Lok designs and manufactures quality fasteners for demanding applications. It has a strong focus on aerospace. The company has been designing and making custom fasteners for over 70 years. It has numerous firsts and patents to its credit, and many of its products have become industry standards. The site also shows fasteners for automotive, space and aero industries.

The company's products include barrel nuts, bearing locknuts, expandable diameter fasteners, sandwich panel inserts and fluid fittings. It also makes locked studs and inserts, including ring locked designs, and advanced composites inserts. Miscellaneous fasteners and custom fit solutions round out the range.

Barrel nuts minimize drilling and eliminate the need for long, expensive bolts. They attach heavy structural members in high tensile uses, such as hanging aircraft engines or attaching wings or tails to the fuselage. Designs include floating or nonfloating types, with metallic or nonmetallic lock rings, and retainers or lanyards.

Its fasteners fit two groups of structures. Secondary structures include interior stow bins, lavatories and galleys. Primary structures include aircraft engines, engine pylons, landing gears, wings, gearboxes, transmissions and helicopter rotors. The company calls these all critical applications.

The company has precision manufacturing facilities for large and small volume production. Its documents page offers technical sales bulletins, quality certificates, catalogs and manuals. The site also shows Nadcap certifications. Customers can ask about custom fit solutions through the contact page.
