The SecureFix Direct Shaft Locking Pins are an essential utility component for mechanics, farmers, and DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable method for securing fasteners on trailers and heavy-duty machinery. These 6mm zinc-plated pins provide exceptional shear strength and corrosion resistance, ensuring that equipment stays locked in place even in demanding outdoor conditions. While they are built for robust performance, users should note that they are specifically sized for 6mm applications, meaning they are not suitable for oversized shaft holes or high-vibration environments where a bolt-and-nut fastener might be required for secondary security.

While the zinc plating is corrosion-resistant, saltwater is highly caustic. You should rinse them with fresh water after every exposure and monitor for signs of rust.
The overall length of these SecureFix Direct pins is 58mm.
The wire loop is a permanent part of the assembly designed to rotate for locking and unlocking; it should not be removed.
No, these pins are designed for fastening equipment and holding components in place. They are not intended for critical structural load-bearing applications.
These pins are designed to fit into a 6mm hole diameter.
Check the alignment of your equipment components or use a file to remove any burrs or rust inside the fastener hole.
Verify that the wire loop is fully seated in the notch at the end of the shaft. If it remains loose, the pin may be damaged and should be replaced.
To ensure proper function, ensure that your equipment’s hole diameter is exactly 6mm. If the hole is larger, the pin may experience excessive play, leading to potential structural failure; if smaller, the pin will not seat correctly.
