Product Information

Full details

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.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can these be used on boat trailers exposed to saltwater?

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.

What is the total length of these pins?

The overall length of these SecureFix Direct pins is 58mm.

Is the wire loop removable?

The wire loop is a permanent part of the assembly designed to rotate for locking and unlocking; it should not be removed.

Can I use these for structural load-bearing connections?

No, these pins are designed for fastening equipment and holding components in place. They are not intended for critical structural load-bearing applications.

What diameter hole do I need?

These pins are designed to fit into a 6mm hole diameter.

Troubleshooting

Pin is difficult to insert into the hole

Check the alignment of your equipment components or use a file to remove any burrs or rust inside the fastener hole.

Wire loop feels loose and does not stay locked

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality zinc plating prevents corrosion
  • Bulk pack of 10 provides excellent value
  • Strong wire lock mechanism for quick releases
  • Durable steel construction for heavy-duty use

Cons

  • Not intended for high-vibration machine parts
  • Limited to a 6mm diameter hole fit
  • May require pliers for removal if tension is tight

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.

  1. Installation: Align the holes on your coupling or hinge, insert the shaft of the pin through the hole until the shoulder sits flush against the surface.
  2. Locking: Flip the wire loop over the end of the shaft until it snaps into the locking groove.
  3. Maintenance: Periodically check the wire loop for signs of metal fatigue or loss of spring tension. If the pin is exposed to salt or harsh chemical fertilizers, rinse with fresh water and dry completely to maintain the integrity of the zinc-plated finish.
