Fastening Pins

Pins are metal fasteners designed to provide the strength you need when securing materials. Available in different styles and sizes, they’re often used in machines and engineering to position or hold parts in place, acting as pivots, hinges, shafts and fixtures. Choose from clevis, roll, cotter, hair, safety, dowel, hitch and spring pins, body retainer assortments, and many more. When it comes to securing light cargo firmly in place, thin metal pins are just the thing. Heavy-duty clevis pins are specially designed to retain machine parts in the event of disengagement, allowing to securely hitch or fasten heavy equipment for towing. A cotter pin is often bent during installation to act like a staple or spring pin.

Whether you need to locate, align or firmly secure parts, a safety pin is just the thing. A hitch pin will keep your trailer safe and secure once you drop the pin in place and lock it. Spring pins are self retaining fasteners useful for fixing two or more parts in the position relative to each other. This type of pins is a handy way to keep other fasteners in place. Use them for securing shaft and axle connections. Cotted pins are perfect for fastening ends of round shafts. Rely on dowel pins when you need to align or join machine components during the assembly process, hold stone and concrete together, or to make dowel joints in furniture.
