Stainless Steel Lock Nuts are also known as nylon lock nuts, self-locking nuts, nylon insert lock nuts and Nyloc nuts. Nylon lock nuts are designed to increase the locking force and prevent the nut from working loose. The internal nylon ring has no threads cut into it; it is forced to deform around the threads as the nut is twisted on, ensuring a tight grip on the thread.

Comments about Jamestown Distributors S/S Lock Nuts:
Needed to secure a bolt in a fan used for dance. The hinge got heavy use and the regular nut would come loose and fall off. Using two nuts together wouldn't do the trick so I went looking for a lock nut. Finding the size I needed was a challenge. Not everyone stocks a #4-40. Found this site and waited for a backorder to come in and couldn't be happier with what I received. I'll use this little gem in my woodworking projects, too.
