Gibraltar SLS-100 Side Lock 1/4-20 Thread Mold Hardware

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SLS-100 is a side lock component designed for use in mold blank and punch die set assemblies. It provides a secure lateral locking function within the mold tooling stack, keeping mold components aligned and locked during operation. Weighing 0.5 pounds and measuring 1.74 inches in height, 1.5 inches in width, and 0.62 inches in length, the SLS-100 is a compact, precisely dimensioned piece of mold hardware. It uses a standard 1/4-20 thread size, making integration into existing tooling setups straightforward. This part is installed by tool and die makers, mold technicians, and toolroom machinists.

The SLS-100 is intended for use in die cast mold assemblies and injection mold tooling. It is suited for both production and prototype mold applications where a side locking mechanism is required to maintain component registration. Typical installation scenarios include new mold builds and replacement of worn or damaged side lock hardware in existing mold bases. This part ships as a single unit and is ordered individually.
