Protect threads from debris and leaks—these inserts have a closed end as a barrier.

Screw-Locking Key-Locking Inserts

Forming the strongest hold of any of our threaded inserts, these inserts have a distorted internal thread to lock screws into place and keys that drive into surrounding material to prevent slipping and rotating.
