Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SL-804 is a side lock component designed for use in mold blank and punch die set assemblies. It serves as a mechanical locking element that secures mold components in position during die casting and injection molding operations. The SL-804 features a 1/4-20 thread size and measures 2.75 inches in height, 3 inches in width, and 0.75 inches in length. At 0.5 pounds, it is a compact, single-piece hardware unit. Installation is typically performed by toolmakers, mold makers, or precision machining professionals working with production tooling setups.
