Product overview

Built for secure, serviceable joints.

Nord-Lock Wheel Nuts combine a wheel nut with permanently captive wedge-locking washers. Once tightened correctly, the serrations grip the mating surfaces and the cams resist loosening rotation.

  • Resists loosening caused by vibration and dynamic wheel loads
  • Installs and removes using standard tools
  • Captive washer pair simplifies handling during service
  • Defined friction conditions support predictable preload
  • Durable, reusable and supplied pre-lubricated

How it works

A captive wedge-locking system

The washer pair remains attached to the nut, keeping the locking components together during installation and service.

01

Fit to a compatible rim

The wheel nut is intended for flat-faced steel rims and must match the vehicle and stud specification.

02

Tighten to specification

Correct tightening produces the required clamping force and engages the washer serrations.

03

Create the wedge effect

The inner cams oppose rotation if dynamic loads try to turn the nut loose.

04

Inspect during service

Wheel, stud and nut condition should remain part of the normal vehicle maintenance routine.
