EZ-Lock and Armorgard: Must-See Features for Your Jobsite! #shorts

What happens here

Before commencing the installation, it is crucial to gather all the necessary tools and materials. This includes the specific EZ-LOK solid wall threaded insert designed for metal applications, a standard drill, a standard drill bit that matches the required pilot hole size for the chosen insert, and a standard tap corresponding to the insert's external thread. Having these items readily available ensures a smooth and efficient installation process.

Goal: Prepare all necessary items for the threaded insert installation.

Tools and materials

  • Drill — Creating the pilot hole and potentially driving the tap
  • Standard Drill Bit — Drilling the initial pilot hole in the metal material
  • Standard Tap — Creating internal threads in the drilled hole that match the EZ-LOK insert
  • EZ-LOK Solid Wall Threaded Insert — The component being installed to create or repair strong internal threads
