ALoc® Aircraft Series

The ALoc® Aircraft Series fasteners are a trusted choice for Beechcraft® airplanes, particularly in cowling latches and various panel applications. Known for their straightforward yet reliable design, ALoc fasteners consist of a simple stud with a pin pressed into the shank, offering easy installation and secure fastening. The pin is inserted after the stud is in place and must be removed prior to disassembly, ensuring a secure connection.

Commonly used with #2, #5, and #7 studs, these fasteners may also incorporate wear grommets for added durability. Unlike ZLoc® fasteners, the grommets in ALoc systems typically do not require replacement when changing studs, adding to their longevity and cost-efficiency. Available in various stud blank lengths, each length is identified by its first Dash#, while the 2nd Dash# refers to grip sizes in .010 increments, allowing for a range of custom applications. While the ALoc design features the least grip range among 1/4-turn fasteners, it remains a dependable solution for secure fastening in targeted applications.

Skybolt primarily stocks certain sizes in Stainless Steel for replacement purposes, ensuring lasting performance in existing systems. For those seeking an upgrade, explore our STCd conversion kits to easily transition from ALoc to CLoc (Camloc® style) systems for enhanced performance and versatility.
