Key Insert – High-Strength Thread Reinforcement Solutions

We manufactures a complete range of Key Insert (Key Locking Inserts) designed for high-strength thread reinforcement, thread repair, and superior pull-out resistance in lightweight or soft materials.
Built with a solid-body construction and positive mechanical locking keys, these inserts ensure reliable performance even under extreme vibration and load conditions.

What is Key Insert?

Key-Locking Inserts are solid metal threaded inserts featuring:

  • A rigid, single-piece body

  • Precision internal threads

  • Deep spiral external threads

  • Two (or more) steel drive keys at the top

Once installed, these keys are driven into the parent material to create a permanent mechanical lock, preventing rotation and pull-out.

⭐ Key Features

  • Solid-body insert for maximum thread strength

  • Stainless-steel locking keys for permanent mechanical retention

  • Vibration-proof and pull-out resistant

  • Restores damaged threads or reinforces weaker parent materials

  • Ideal for aluminum, magnesium & composite structures

  • High corrosion and temperature resistance

  • Suitable for both OEM assembly and field repair

  • Available in Miniature, Lightweight, Standard & Extra Heavy-Duty series

🔧 How Key Locking Inserts Work

  1. A standard tapped hole is prepared.

  2. The insert is threaded into the hole until flush.

  3. Locking keys are driven down to anchor the insert.

  4. The insert becomes permanently locked, providing a stronger-than-original metal thread.
