Captive Fastener with Thread Locking is designed for a permanent hold within a target assembly or housing, including upon servicing. The Captive Fastener provides a secure joining, and avoids fastener loss or damage that might be caused by a loose part. The Captive Fastener comes with thread locking, press-fitting, or broaching to accomplish an anchor-hold within a larger assembly housing. The Captive Fastener with Thread Locking can be melded with the material into which it is joined, either through cold forming or welding.
