Description

Lock Nut is a captive plastic fastener (commonly known as a Lokut nut) that receives a No. 10 self-tapping screw.

The body pushes into a square panel aperture (7 mm) where its shoulders grip to hold it captive, presenting a threadless tapping bore that the screw cuts into as it drives home. It is used to secure trim and mechanism components such as door window regulators, facia panels and tailgate trim, allowing a screw fixing into thin sheet or moulded panels without a separate backing nut.
