E-Z LOK, a renowned manufacturer and master distributor of threaded inserts for various materials including metal, plastic, and wood, has expanded its product range with the introduction of E-Z Fin™ brass threaded inserts, commonly known as Finserts. These inserts are designed to provide durable metal threads in softwood materials, offering a reliable solution for permanent fastening.
The E-Z Fin™ inserts feature a unique design that distributes stress over a larger surface area, reducing the risk of thread erosion. With an easy press-in installation process, the OD fins grip the hole walls securely, locking the insert in place. Available in single, double, or triple fin configurations, these inserts accommodate different material thicknesses. The internal thread sizes range from #6 to 5/16, providing flexibility for various applications.
Key features of E-Z Fin™ inserts include their fast and simple installation process, as well as their ability to minimize the risk of wood splitting or splintering. They are suitable for use with composition board, MDF, and pine. Unlike traditional wood screws, which can loosen and cause the hole to enlarge over time, Finserts allow for unlimited tightening and loosening without compromising the integrity of the fastening.
In addition to inserts for wood, E-Z LOK offers a broad selection of threaded inserts for other materials. These include solid wall and helical wire-thread inserts for metal, as well as press-in and ultrasonic/heat stake designs for plastic. The company also provides die-cast zinc alloy hex drives for softwood and brass knife threads for hardwood.
Founded in 1956, E-Z LOK is a third-generation, family-owned company that continues to lead the industry in providing high-quality fastening solutions. The company primarily distributes its products through local, regional, and national industrial distributors. With a variety of installation kits that include tools, drill bits, and other accessories, E-Z LOK continues to serve as a trusted partner for manufacturers and contractors alike.
