Gibraltar LBL-118 Quick-release Pin L-handle 0.25 in 3.5 in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR LBL-118 is a quick-release pin with an L-handle, designed for fast, tool-free installation and removal in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, jigs, and structural connections. The pin is manufactured from 4130 alloy steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance. It has a 0.25 inch diameter and 3.5 inches of usable length, making it suitable for a range of medium-duty fastening applications. The quick-release mechanism allows a technician to insert or remove the pin with one hand, reducing downtime during equipment setup or changeover. This part is measured in the inch system and ships as a single unit.

The LBL-118 is used in applications where frequent disassembly is required without tools, such as machine guarding, access panel retention, agricultural equipment, industrial fixtures, and maintenance platforms. The L-handle provides a positive grip surface for quick actuation in tight or awkward access points. It is appropriate for light to medium structural connections in both shop and field environments where a threaded fastener would be impractical.

Key Features

• L-handle design allows tool-free, one-hand insertion and removal
• 0.25 inch pin diameter suits standard quick-release pin hole patterns
• 3.5 inches of usable length for medium-depth fastening applications
• 4130 alloy steel construction for strength and durability
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in light-duty environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-system quick-release pin for use in mechanical assemblies, industrial fixtures, and equipment requiring frequent tool-free disassembly where a 0.25 inch diameter pin is specified.

Installation Notes

Install and remove by hand using the L-handle — no tools required. Ensure the receiving holes are clean, properly sized, and free of burrs before insertion to prevent binding or premature wear. Do not use this pin in applications exceeding its rated load or where a positive-locking threaded fastener is required by code or engineering specification. Inspect the quick-release mechanism and pin body for deformation or corrosion before each use.
