Blind Bolts
Blind bolts are structural high strength, tamper resistant blind fasteners designed for use in applications such as automotive, construction, container, railroad and mining. The blind bolt fastener is available in steel in 3/16" to 5/8" diameter. It is a unique assembly consisting of a stem, sleeve and collar and is comparable in performance to standard lockbolt fasteners. Unlike standard lockbolt fasteners, the blind bolt fastener only requires access to one side of the workpiece for installation making them ideal for areas with restricted access.
