Product Information
Recessed Button Handle Marine Ball Lock Pins are similar to our standard single-acting Ball Lock Pins, except they are available only in stainless steel, and even have their handle made of stainless steel (instead of aluminium) for extra strength and corrosion resistance. Ball Lock Pins are high-strength, quick-release alignment pins with a precision ground shank. They are positive locking until released by pushing the button, which moves the center spindle forward to allow the balls to retract. The recessed-button-handle version shown here is one of three available handle styles. Made in USA. Available in pin diameters from 3/16 to 3/4" (5 to 16mm in metric), in stainless steel only. Standard grip lengths for each diameter are listed in the tables below, most in stock for same-day shipment. Pins with special grip lengths up to 12” (300mm) and other special features can be quickly made to order. The Part Configurator link at the top of this page can be used for any Marine Ball Lock Pin, either standard or special.
