Locknuts
Abbott Interfast was one of the first locknut providers in the fastener industry. Early on we recognized this staple as one of the most effective and economical components used in just about every industry. We have been a leader in locknut sales since 1948. Abbott purchased a locknut manufacturer, Steloc Fastener Corporation, in its early years and continues today to produce parts.
Abbott supplies various types of locknuts in both standard inch and metric sizes. We also supply locknuts in both All Metal (self-locking) and Nylon Inserts (nylon locking).
