Gibraltar SL-800 Side Lock Mold Hardware 10-32 Thread

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SL-800 is a side lock component for mold blank and punch die set hardware applications. It provides a reliable locking mechanism within die cast and injection mold assemblies, securing mold components during the molding cycle. At 2 inches tall, 1 inch wide, and 0.38 inches in length, this compact hardware piece is sized for direct integration into mold plates and tooling setups. The 10-32 thread size ensures compatibility with standard fastener configurations used in precision tooling environments. Mold makers and tool and die technicians specify this part when building or maintaining mold assemblies that require positive side locking action.

The SL-800 is suited for use in die cast mold and injection mold setups across industrial and production tooling environments. It is typically installed during mold construction or as a replacement component during mold maintenance and refurbishment. The single-piece package format makes it straightforward to stock as a replacement part on a tooling bench. Applications include both prototype and production mold assemblies where controlled lateral movement and positive lock engagement are required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by tool and die technicians or mold makers during mold assembly or scheduled maintenance. Ensure the mold assembly is fully de-energized, depressurized, and cooled before disassembling any mold components. Use calibrated hand tools appropriate for 10-32 fastener engagement to avoid thread damage. Follow your facility safety procedures and applicable tooling maintenance standards when servicing mold hardware.
