Gibraltar SLS-101 Side Lock 1/4-20 Thread Mold Hardware

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SLS-101 is a side lock component for mold blank and punch die set hardware applications. It provides secure lateral locking within die cast and injection mold assemblies, keeping mold components properly aligned and seated during production cycles. The SLS-101 features a 1/4-20 thread size for standardized fastening and measures 1.74 inches in height, 2 inches in width, and 0.62 inches in length. Weighing 0.5 pounds, it is compact and suited for direct installation into mold tooling. Toolmakers, moldmakers, and die cast technicians are the primary installers of this component.

The SLS-101 is designed for use in die cast mold and injection mold applications. It functions as a side locking mechanism within mold assemblies where lateral retention and precise component positioning are required. This part suits toolroom environments where mold base hardware must meet close-tolerance fitment standards. Sold individually, it is appropriate for replacement or new-build mold projects requiring a single-piece side lock.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified moldmaker or toolroom technician. Ensure all press or machine power is disconnected and the mold is fully cooled and de-pressurized before servicing internal mold components. Use appropriately sized hand tools for 1/4-20 threaded fasteners and verify seating and alignment against mold base tolerances before returning the assembly to service.
