Gibraltar LBL-130 Quick-release Pin 3/8 in L-handle Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR LBL-130 is a quick-release pin with an L-handle, designed for fast, tool-free insertion and removal in mechanical assemblies and structural fixtures. The pin measures 3/8 inch in diameter with a 1/2 inch usable length, making it suited for compact connections that require frequent engagement and disengagement. Constructed from 4130 alloy steel with a zinc-plated finish, it delivers solid corrosion resistance and mechanical strength in demanding service environments. This type of pin is commonly installed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, and industrial tradespeople working on equipment where quick component access is required.

The LBL-130 is used in applications where a standard clevis or hitch pin would require a cotter pin or clip for retention. The L-handle design allows single-hand operation, which is practical in tight spaces or when working overhead. Typical install scenarios include jigs, fixtures, safety guards, access panels, and mechanical linkages in both residential and light commercial equipment service situations. The zinc-plated finish provides added protection in moderate-moisture environments.

Key Features

• L-handle design allows fast, one-handed insertion and removal without tools
• 3/8 inch pin diameter for standard clevis and pin-hole fitment
• 1/2 inch usable length suits compact connection points
• 4130 alloy steel construction for high mechanical strength
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in moderate-moisture conditions
• Inch measurement system; compatible with standard imperial hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit quick-release pin for applications requiring a 3/8 inch diameter, 1/2 inch usable length L-handle pin in inch-measurement hardware assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools. Ensure the receiving hole diameter is clean and free of debris before inserting the pin. Verify the pin fully seats and the release mechanism engages before applying load. Inspect the pin and handle for wear or deformation at each service interval and replace if any damage is found.
