Gibraltar LBL-126 Quick-release Pin 5/16 in 2.5 in Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR LBL-126 is a quick-release pin with an L-handle configuration, designed for fast, tool-free insertion and removal in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and equipment. The pin measures 5/16 inch in diameter with a 2.5-inch usable length. It is machined from 4130 alloy steel and finished with a zinc plating for corrosion resistance. This type of fastener is commonly installed by maintenance technicians, machinists, fabricators, and millwrights working on jigs, fixtures, carts, and adjustable-position assemblies where frequent disassembly is required.

The LBL-126 is suited for use in industrial and light commercial applications where a positive-retention pin is needed without the use of tools. The L-handle provides a secure grip for quick engagement and release in repetitive-use scenarios such as adjustable machine guards, material handling equipment, and positioning fixtures. The inch-system dimensions make it compatible with standard imperial-tolerance bores and lug assemblies common in North American fabrication environments.

Key Features

• L-handle design allows tool-free insertion and removal for fast cycle applications
• 5/16-inch pin diameter fits standard imperial-tolerance bored holes
• 2.5-inch usable length accommodates typical lug and fixture thicknesses
• 4130 alloy steel construction provides strength suitable for moderate load applications
• Zinc-plated finish adds surface corrosion resistance for general shop environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or aftermarket replacement quick-release pin for use in standard imperial-bore fixtures, jigs, carts, and adjustable mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/16-inch diameter retention pin.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools — insert the pin through aligned bores and engage the spring-loaded ball detent to retain the pin in position. Verify bore diameter and usable length requirements before installation to ensure proper retention. Inspect the detent ball and spring mechanism periodically for wear or debris that could affect retention force. Follow applicable facility lockout/tagout procedures before servicing any assembly that uses this pin in a load-bearing or safety-critical application.
