Eyebolts and pushlocks

Eyebolts and pushlocks create secure anchor points, but to ensure their integrity they must be regularly inspected, tested and certified.

Traditional eyebolts

Ringanka eyebolts are for use in brickwork, concrete and steelwork.  They have a 16mm diameter unthreaded shank to ‘plug’ a drilled hole, thus reducing the bending effects which would result in earlier failure during shear loading.  

Eyebolts

These safety eyebolts can be used by fixing to an outside or inside face of a structural element adjacent to a window or other access.  They are manufactured from either high tensile carbon steel with a galvanised or plastic-coated finish, or grade 316 stainless steel.

We also offer cantilever anchor devices for use in dry lined walls or in conjunction with plasterboard, cladding etc.  Where the distance from the face of the load-bearing structure to the collar of the eyebolt does not exceed 25mm, a spacer sleeve may be placed under the eyebolt collar to provide the necessary support.  Where the distance from the face of the load-bearing structure to the collar of the eyebolt exceeds 25mm, special cantilever sockets are available. BS7883 states that eyebolts should be removable for periodic inspection. This is easily achievable by using knurled inserts and appropriate resin.

  • Conforms to Class A1 EN795 and BS7883
  • System used by attaching lanyard to eyebolt
  • Produced from 316 stainless steel or high tensile carbon steel with either a galvanised or white-coated finish
  • Available for use in brickwork, concrete and steelwork
  • BS7883 states that eyebolts should be removable for periodic inspection. This is easily achievable by using knurled inserts and appropriate resin

 

 

PushLock eyebolts

The Latchways PushLock safety eyebolt provides a discreet yet highly effective alternative to unsightly conventional eyebolts. 

Pushlocks 

While conventional eyebolts meet the safety need, their lack of aesthetic consideration can impair the visual characteristics of the office, hotel or housing environment in which they are installed. The pleasing design and assured safety of the Latchways PushLock overcomes the problem.

  • The Latchways PushLock socket is a permanent anchor installed into the structure of the building. 
  • The socket is suitable for installation in a variety of materials including brickwork, concrete and steelwork. 
  • Sockets are available for installation in cavity walls and suspended ceilings. 
  • The PushLock socket is discreetly capped when not in use. 
  • Socket caps are available in a prestige brass finish, stainless steel and a range of colours. 
  • When required, the worker inserts a PushLock eyebolt into the socket to create a secure anchor. 
  • Insertion or removal of the PushLock eyebolt is a two-handed operation, which therefore makes accidental removal impossible. 
  • The PushLock socket and eyebolt are tested to 22 kN. 
  • PushLock has been tested to EN795:1996 and meets all appropriate international standards including the EC Declaration of Conformity.  
  • Removable alternative to traditional eyebolts.
  • The operative inserts a removable eyebolt into a permanently fixed socket.
  • Two-handed action guards against accidental removal.
  • Available for use in brick, concrete and steel.
  • Cap and centre plunger comes in white as standard but is also available in stainless steel or brass at extra cost.
