Gibraltar LBT-111 Quick-release T-handle Pin 1/4 in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR LBT-111 is a quick-release T-handle pin designed for fast, tool-free insertion and removal in mechanical assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and industrial equipment. Built from 4130 steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance, this pin measures 0.25 inches in diameter with a 0.75-inch usable length. The T-handle provides a positive grip for one-hand operation, making it well suited for applications that require frequent access, adjustment, or component swapping. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators install this type of fastener where a conventional bolt or clevis pin would slow down production or servicing workflows.

This quick-release pin is used in light industrial and manufacturing environments wherever a repeatable, tool-free connection point is needed. Typical applications include machinery guards, hinged access panels, jig-and-fixture setups, carts, and material-handling equipment. The zinc plating provides adequate protection against mild corrosion in shop and indoor environments. The inch-measurement system makes this pin a direct fit for standard inch-dimension hole patterns commonly found in North American-manufactured equipment.

Key Features

• T-handle design allows one-hand, tool-free insertion and removal
• 4130 steel construction provides strength suitable for repeated use in industrial fixtures
• Zinc-plated finish adds corrosion resistance for indoor and shop environments
• 0.25-inch pin diameter fits standard inch-dimension hole patterns
• 0.75-inch usable length suits thin panels, brackets, and light-duty clevis applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series quick-release T-handle pin for use in machinery, fixtures, jigs, and equipment with 0.25-inch diameter pin holes requiring tool-free fastening.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools — align the pin with the mating hole and press until the spring-loaded detent engages. Before servicing or replacing this pin in an active machine, de-energize the equipment and follow applicable lockout/tagout procedures per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147. Inspect the detent mechanism and spring for wear or deformation during routine maintenance. Do not use this pin in applications that exceed its rated load or expose it to sustained outdoor moisture without additional corrosion protection.
