Key-Ring Inserts

Kelox® inserts and studs are high performance threaded products that typically require smaller diameter installation holes than other solid bushing inserts and studs. This translates into overall reduced boss sizes and weight savings. The Kelox® fasteners incorporate a pair of self-broaching keys joined by an integral ring that facilitates the driving of the keys into the structure.

While exhibiting the same features and benefits as standard key-locked inserts, Kelox® inserts and studs have internal ring attaching keys. This provides additional support while installing keys, but requires a small counterbore to allow the ring to sit flush with the top surface of parent material.
