4. Product use instructions
1. Choose the right specification: According to the size of the bolt or screw used in your DIY project and the thickness and material of the connected parts, carefully select the right specification of 304 stainless steel K-lock nuts. Make sure that the thread size of the nut matches the bolt exactly, and consider whether the height and outer diameter of the nut fit the space requirements of the mounting location to ensure a secure and stable installation. You can refer to the design drawings of the project, measure the hole diameter and thread size of the connected parts, or compare with the existing bolt samples to select the exact nut specification. If in doubt, it is recommended to consult a professional hardware salesperson or refer to the relevant hardware installation guide.
2. Preparation before installation: Before installing the nuts, clean the surface of the connected parts, remove oil, dust, rust and other impurities, and make sure the surface is flat and clean. Use a clean cloth to wipe or appropriate cleaning agent to clean, for the parts with rust stains, you can use sandpaper to gently sand to remove the rust layer. At the same time, check whether the size of the pre-opened holes on the connected parts meets the requirements, and the hole wall should be smooth and burr-free so as not to affect the insertion and fixing effect of the nut. If the hole wall is not smooth enough, you can use a file or sandpaper to make appropriate repairs to ensure that the hole wall is flat and smooth.
3. Installation method: align the nut with the pre-opened hole on the connected part, align the threads of the nut with the threads of the bolt or screw, and then gently screw in a few turns by hand to ensure that the threads initially bite. Next, use a suitable tool, such as a wrench or socket wrench (select the appropriate specification according to the size of the nut), and tighten the nut gradually in a clockwise direction. In the process of tightening, pay attention to the uniform application of force to avoid excessive force resulting in thread damage or deformation of the connected parts. For smaller specification nuts (such as M3, M4), the force required for tightening is relatively small; for larger specification nuts such as M8, it is necessary to appropriately increase the tightening force, but also pay attention to not exceeding the material's tolerance limit. When the nut is tightened to a certain degree, the K-type structure will fit tightly with the bolt or screw, producing an anti-loosening effect. If you are unsure of the proper tightening force, refer to some common hardware installation guides or consult a professional.
4. Inspection and Maintenance: After completing the installation of the nuts, carefully check whether the connection parts are firm and whether the nuts are tightened in place. The stability of the connection can be initially tested by gently shaking or applying some external force. During daily use, check the nuts regularly, especially in projects that are often subject to vibration, collision, and humid environments. If the nut is found to have signs of loosening, it should be tightened in a timely manner; if the surface of the nut is stained or slightly rusted, you can use a clean cloth dipped in an appropriate amount of stainless steel cleaner or white vinegar to wipe and clean, to maintain the good appearance and performance of the nut. Avoid using cleaners containing chlorine ions to avoid corrosion of stainless steel.
