Advantages of Locking Bolts for Your Business

The functions of draw latches and locking bolts are already in their names: they close and secure various moving elements. Therefore, locking bolts are used daily in many areas. Both furniture manufacturing and securing heavy machine parts in the automotive industry benefit from these bolts.

For your business, having locking bolts in your range offers additional advantages:

  • High-quality materials: All our locking bolts are made from robust materials such as stainless steel or galvanized steel to ensure durability and corrosion protection.
  • Various designs: We offer different sizes and designs from M10 to M12, with or without plastic heads, and with or without locking.
  • Easy installation: Thanks to precise construction, our locking bolts can be easily integrated into existing systems.
  • Safe and reliable: Ideal for applications where precise locking is crucial.

Types of Draw Latches, Locking Bolts, and Locking Pins

Despite their simple applications, there are different types of securing bolts – especially the distinction between bolts with or without locking.

Bolts without locking: Simple locking bolts without additional locking are mainly used where the moving elements need to be frequently opened and closed.

Bolts with locking: With locking bolts with locking, you and your customers can fix the individual elements. This way, they cannot be accidentally released by vibrations or other external forces – only by consciously operating the lever or button.

The increased security is particularly appreciated in transport.

Bolts with mounting plate: This variant simplifies the stable installation of the bolts as it comes with the corresponding mounting plate. With this support, these bolts can be attached to almost any surface.

Powerful and Reliable: The Different Materials of Our Locking Bolts

Rolko is particularly known as a wheel manufacturer for the high quality of its pneumatic wheels and PU wheels. But the accessories are also made from first-class materials that can withstand the daily demands of transport and agriculture.

Stainless steel: This material is particularly known for its outstanding corrosion resistance and is therefore also used in many places where the environment is chemically demanding or quickly becomes moist. In addition, stainless steel locking bolts are very durable components that can also be easily adapted to high hygiene standards.

At Rolko, you will find locking bolts with both heads and bodies made of stainless steel.

Galvanized steel: Galvanized steel is characterized by its high strength, making it particularly popular in mechanically demanding environments. Therefore, bolts made of galvanized steel are often used in vehicle parts or in the furniture industry as well as in trade fair and shop construction. Additionally, galvanizing protects the steel from rust, giving it increased corrosion resistance.

This material can also make up the head and body of our bolts.

Easy Handling: Installation and Maintenance

Locking bolts and draw latches do not require complicated installation. The process is simple and requires only a few steps:

  • First, the locking bolt is aligned at the desired position.
  • Then it is either screwed in or fastened with screws or rivets.
  • Finally, it is checked whether it locks smoothly and can be opened easily.

Maintenance is also easy to perform: occasional cleaning and, if necessary, lubricating the mechanical parts is sufficient to ensure long-term functionality.

FAQ about Locking Bolts

How does a locking bolt work?

A locking bolt works by locking into a predefined position. The integrated spring ensures that the bolt stays in position and only releases when manually unlocked.

What different sizes of locking pins are available, and how do I choose the right size for my application?

Locking bolts are available in various sizes to meet different requirements. At Rolko, you will find:

  • Thread diameter: M10 - M12
  • Bolt diameter from 5 mm - 8 mm
  • Total lengths from 28.5 mm - 55 mm

To choose the right size for your application, you should consider the load and the size of the component to be secured. Smaller bolts are suitable for lighter applications.

Are locking bolts suitable for use in extreme temperatures?

Yes, many draw latches are also suitable for use in extreme temperatures. The temperature resistance depends on the material used, with stainless steel, for example, being able to withstand high and low temperatures, often in a range of about -40°C to +200°C.
