Gibraltar SL-803 Side Lock Mold Hardware 10-32

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SL-803 is a side lock component designed for use in mold blank and punch die set applications. This hardware provides secure lateral locking action within the mold assembly, maintaining precise alignment during die cast and injection molding cycles. Measuring 2.25 inches in height, 2 inches in width, and 0.5 inches in length, it fits within compact mold tool envelopes. The 10-32 threaded interface allows for straightforward fastening into standard mold plate configurations. At 0.5 pounds, the SL-803 is a lightweight but functional piece of tooling hardware installed by mold makers and tool and die technicians.

The SL-803 is suited for both die cast mold and injection mold assemblies where controlled side locking is required. It is commonly installed during new mold builds or as a replacement component when existing side locks show wear or dimensional drift. The 10-32 thread size is a standard fastener specification widely used in precision tooling, making sourcing compatible hardware straightforward in most shop environments.
