What is a turnlock assembly?

A turnlock fastener is a type of fastening mechanism that is commonly used to hold two parts together securely. A stud assembly with a turnlock fastener is a specific type of fastener that consists of a threaded stud attached to one component and a receptacle attached to the other component. The two parts are joined together by aligning the stud with the receptacle and then turning the stud to lock it into place.

These types of fasteners are commonly used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and defense, where high-strength and secure fastening is required. The turnlock fastener allows for easy and quick assembly, making it a popular choice for applications requiring frequent maintenance or repair.

Stud assemblies with turnlock fasteners are available in various materials, sizes, and head types. It is crucial to select the correct stud assembly with compatible head type and panel thickness to ensure proper assembly.
