An Anti-Luce fastener, also known as a drop lock catch, is a type of fastener used to securely close and lock panels, doors, or tailboards. It typically consists of a bolt that drops into a slot or catch plate.
These fasteners are manufactured from CR-v (Chrome Vanadium) steel for high strength and durability.
They feature an extra-long thread and are threaded all the way to the end, making them suitable for relatively thick materials. The exact maximum thickness depends on the length of the thread beyond the M8 shank.
Each fastener comes complete with a nylon nut and washer for securing the fastener itself. You will need to ensure your application has a suitable receiving slot or catch plate for the drop lock mechanism.
M8 refers to the metric thread size of the fastener's shank, indicating a diameter of approximately 8 millimeters.

Yes, the zinc-plated finish provides good resistance to rust and corrosion, making them suitable for various external applications.
Ensure the nylon nut is tightened sufficiently. If the material is too thin for the extra-long thread, consider using a backing plate or a shorter fastener.
Check alignment between the fastener and its receiving slot/plate. Ensure no debris is obstructing the mechanism. Verify the material thickness isn't causing the fastener to sit too far in or out.
While zinc plating offers protection, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions can cause corrosion. Clean the affected area and consider applying a protective coating if necessary. Ensure the fastener is fully dry after cleaning.
