Our threaded inserts are an excellent choice for designers seeking connection methods between two panels that will be durable, strong and, most importantly, reliable. Not every insert will suit every application, which is why we have a curated collection of inserts, including these M2-M4 threaded inserts.

Threaded Inserts for Replacing Damaged or Worn Threads

Machine designers frequently use M2-M4 stainless steel key-locking threaded inserts to enhance the durability and reliability of their assemblies, particularly when working with softer or more brittle materials such as aluminium, magnesium, or certain plastics.

Our inserts are easy to install and remove, with no specialised drills or pre-winder tools required. The keys are driven down into the threads of the surrounding base material, locking the insert securely in place.

The M2-M4 designation must be considered when choosing your inserts, as it indicates the M2 internal threaded insert and the M4 external threaded insert categorisation and, more importantly, the size (in millimetres) of the screw that will be compatible with this insert. 

Additionally, we provide an M2 threaded insert installation tool at an extra cost to assist you with this installation.

M2-M4 Key-Locking Thread Installation Guide 

Once you have received your order of key-locking threaded inserts, you need to know the best way to install them correctly.

  • Drill: A hole is drilled into the base material to a specified diameter.
  • Tap: The hole is then tapped with a specific tap to create internal threads that match the external threads of the insert.
  • Insert: The threaded insert is screwed into the tapped hole.
  • Lock: The keys or tangs are driven into the surrounding material, securing the insert in place.
