Essential Fabrication Components: Stair Treads, Weld Elbows, Key Clamp, and More from Lockinex

Premium Components for Professional Fabricators

At Lockinex, we supply the high-quality components that fabricators rely on to deliver safe, durable, and professional results. Our range of stair treads, weld elbows, key clamp systems, galvanised tubes, ball standards, mesh panels and trouser shims provide a cost effective solution for steel fabricators for a range of projects.

Stair Treads: Safety and Durability Underfoot

Our industrial-grade stair treads are designed for heavy-duty applications where slip resistance and structural integrity are critical. Whether you're fabricating access stairs for warehouses, mezzanines, or external fire escapes, our treads deliver reliable performance in demanding environments.

Key features:

  • Anti-slip surface patterns for enhanced safety
  • Galvanised or optional powder-coated finishes for corrosion resistance
  • Available in multiple sizes to suit various stair configurations
  • Designed to meet building regulations and safety standards

 

Weld Elbows: Precision Joints for Pipework and Handrails

When your fabrication requires smooth, strong directional changes in pipework or handrail systems, our weld elbows provide the precision and strength you need. Manufactured to tight tolerances, they ensure clean welds and professional finishes every time.

Ideal for:

  • Handrail and balustrade systems
  • Industrial pipework installations
  • Custom fabrication projects requiring angled connections

 

Key Clamp Systems: Versatile, Modular, and Strong

Our key clamp fittings are the go-to solution for fabricators who need fast, flexible, and reliable tube connections. Perfect for handrails, guardrails, barriers, frameworks, and temporary structures, key clamp systems eliminate the need for welding while maintaining exceptional strength.

Why fabricators choose key clamp:

  • Quick assembly and disassembly for adaptable projects
  • No hot work required—ideal for sites with welding restrictions
  • Wide range of fittings including elbows, tees, crosses, and base plates
  • Galvanised finish for long-lasting outdoor performance
  • Compatible with standard galvanised tube sizes

 

Galvanised Tubes: The Backbone of Your Builds

Strong, corrosion-resistant, and cost-effective, our galvanised tubes are essential for fabricators working on handrails, guardrails, barriers, and frameworks. Available in a variety of diameters and wall thicknesses, they're engineered to meet the demands of both internal and external applications.

Applications include:

  • Handrail and guardrail systems
  • Safety barriers and fencing
  • Frameworks and supports
  • Temporary works and structures

 

Ball Standards: Fabricated uprights for handrails/guardrails

Much like key clamp, ball standards provide a robust handrail/guardrail system by allowing galvanised tube to be passed through them and locked in place, leaving a strong, long lasting structure. With a fully welded/fabricated design, ball standards are popular in water treatment facilities and meat relevant British standards.

Perfect for:

  • Handrail and guardrail systems

 

Mesh Panels: Security, Visibility, and Ventilation

Our industrial mesh panels are the ideal solution when your fabrication project requires a combination of security, visibility, and airflow. Perfect for fencing, handrail infills, machine guarding, storage cages, and partition systems, mesh panels offer robust protection without compromising sightlines or ventilation.

Key applications:

  • Handrail systems
  • Machine guarding and safety enclosures
  • Warehouse partitions and storage cages
  • Pedestrian barriers with visibility requirements
  • Ventilated enclosures for plant and equipment

Product features:

  • Welded mesh construction for maximum strength and rigidity
  • Raw steel finish for welding or galvanised finish for a ready to go solution
  • Available in various mesh sizes and panel dimensions
  • Easy integration with tube frameworks and key clamp systems

Whether you're building secure compounds, protecting machinery, or creating defined work zones, our mesh panels deliver the durability and functionality fabricators demand.

 

Trouser Shims: Precision Alignment on structures

Achieving perfectly plumb and aligned structures is critical in professional fabrication. Our trouser shims make it easy to fine-tune structure positioning during installation, ensuring your structures are level, secure, and compliant with specifications.

Benefits:

  • Simplifies alignment on uneven surfaces
  • Reduces installation time and rework
  • Ensures professional results
  • Durable galvanised steel finish for a long lasting, rust free solution
