Composi-Lok Fasteners

Composi-Lok Fasteners are advanced structural blind fastening solutions engineered for applications where one-sided installation, high joint reliability, and material protection are critical. These fasteners are extensively used in aerospace and advanced industrial structures, especially where composite materials are involved and rear-side access is restricted.

Designed for demanding environments, Composi-Lok fasteners provide controlled clamp-up, excellent vibration resistance, and long-term joint integrity, making them suitable for safety-critical assemblies.

How Composi-Lok Fasteners Function

  1. The fastener is inserted from the accessible side of the assembly.

  2. During installation, the internal pin is activated using a controlled installation tool.

  3. The fastener expands on the blind side, forming a wide and stable bearing surface.

  4. The pin locks in place once the required clamp load is achieved, creating a permanent, vibration-resistant joint.

This mechanism ensures consistent performance, minimal material stress, and reliable load transfer.

Material Options & Compatibility

To suit demanding environments and prevent material interaction issues, Composi-Lok fasteners can be manufactured using:

  • Titanium alloys for strength-to-weight optimization

  • Corrosion-resistant stainless steels (CRES)

  • Other aerospace-approved materials as per application needs

These options help ensure compatibility with composite and metallic structures, minimizing the risk of galvanic corrosion.
