Gibraltar LBT-138 Quick-release T-handle Pin 3/8 in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR LBT-138 is a quick-release pin with a T-handle grip, designed for fast, tool-free insertion and removal in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and industrial equipment. The pin measures 3/8 inch in diameter with a 3-inch usable length and is machined from 4130 alloy steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance. The T-handle allows single-hand operation, making it well-suited for applications where frequent disassembly is required. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators install this type of pin where positive retention and quick changeover are priorities.

This quick-release pin is used in machine guarding, jigs and fixtures, tooling setups, and general industrial equipment where components must be secured and released repeatedly without tools. The inch-measurement system makes it compatible with standard imperial-dimensioned hardware applications. It is sold individually and suits both production floor and maintenance environments where reliability and speed of access matter.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit quick-release pin for imperial-dimensioned mechanical assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and industrial equipment requiring a 3/8 inch diameter pin with a 3-inch usable length.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools — insert the pin through aligned holes in the mating components and engage the release mechanism to lock. Ensure the receiving holes are clean and free of burrs before installation to allow smooth pin travel. Inspect the locking mechanism and pin shaft for wear or deformation during routine maintenance. Follow applicable machinery safety standards and lock out or tag out equipment before servicing assemblies secured by this pin.
