Uniform Quality & Precision
Manufactured with tight tolerances for diameter and dimensions—ensures consistent performance part to part.
Usage & Installation Tips
- Select Proper Diameter & Length — Ensure the 3/64″ pin fits your receiving hole snugly but can still slide in with light pressure.
- Align Components — Bring the parts into alignment before inserting the pin to avoid bending or damaging components.
- Push Until Coil Engages — Insert until the coiled spring section locks behind the receiving face; you may hear or feel a slight snap.
- Check Periodically — In vibration-prone settings, inspect periodically for wear or loosening.
- Replace if Deformed — If the pin becomes bent or the coil loses tension, replace it to preserve locking integrity.
