Designed and manufactured by Albert Jagger as far back as 1953, Antiluce™ Fasteners are a staple product within the company which has seen vast success over the years. More than 15,000 are produced by Albert Jagger every week, and our manufacturing capabilities mean that we can make fasteners in a wide variety of sizes and finishes to suit the requirements of our customers. But what exactly are Antiluce™ Fasteners, and for which applications are they best suited?

So… What are Antiluce™ Fasteners?

These easy-to-use and robust fasteners are one-piece components which can either be bolted or welded on to create an ideal joining between vehicle objects, perfect for securing loads.

They feature captive moveable cotters which are able to slide in and out of a locked position, which dispenses the need for loose cotters and chains. Its ergonomic design means that rattling and vibrations, which can cause unwanted noise that may even loosen the fitting, are prevented.

Additionally, the low number of moving parts present in our Antiluce™ Fasteners means that fastening remains quick and reliable

Fasteners Perfect for a Variety of Different Applications

Initially, Antiluce™ Fasteners were designed to ensure vehicle dropsides remain secure, however these fasteners are now very capable in a wide range of applications covering all industries, including:

  • Road Signs
  • Construction
  • Marine
  • Commercial Vehicles
  • Packing Cases

… and more!

There are also a variety of different finishes available for our Antiluce™ Fasteners, so you can choose the right style for the occasion. These include:

  • Stainless Steel – A sleek and shiny finish with great rust and corrosion resistance.
  • Geomet – Has an easily paintable, metallic grey finish with great resistance to damages, whether it be chemical or mechanical, as well as electrical conduction capabilities.
  • Zinc Plated with JS500 Topcoat – Ideal for preventing corrosion with a JS500 topcoat to prolong the life of the zinc plated finish.
  • Black Passivated – An attractive black finish ideal for preventing corrosion and friction.

What makes our Antiluce™ Fasteners stand out from the rest?
