Fixpal Rivet, a supplier of precision-engineered blind fastening solutions, today announced the availability of its expanded line of steel interlock rivets designed for demanding structural applications where standard blind rivets cannot deliver sufficient strength or sealing performance.
Engineered for Structural Integrity
Unlike conventional blind rivets, steel interlock rivets feature a specialized locking mechanism that mechanically engages the mandrel into the rivet body after installation, creating a double-thick wall construction that significantly enhances both shear and tensile strength. This interlocking design provides superior resistance to vibration-induced loosening—a critical requirement in automotive, heavy machinery, and structural steel applications.
Fixpal Rivet‘s steel interlock rivets are manufactured from premium-grade steel with zinc plating for moderate corrosion resistance, making them suitable for both indoor structural assemblies and covered outdoor installations. The all-steel construction delivers tensile strengths up to 1,850 lbs and shear strengths reaching 2,400 lbs in the 1/4-inch diameter configuration, qualifying them for load-bearing connections where joint integrity is non-negotiable.

Watertight Sealing for Critical Environments
A defining characteristic of the interlock rivet design is its ability to create a fully sealed joint. The retained mandrel effectively plugs the rivet body, producing a watertight installation with no center penetration. This sealing capability makes steel interlock rivets particularly valuable for applications involving fluid containment, HVAC ducting, and exterior panel assemblies where moisture ingress must be prevented.
The sealing performance is achieved without secondary operations or additional sealants—the installation process itself creates the watertight condition as the mandrel locks into the body slots at the completion of the pull stroke.

Wide Grip Range and Application Versatility
Fixpal Rivet’s steel interlock rivets are available in 3/16-inch and 1/4-inch diameters with grip ranges spanning from 1/16-inch to 5/8-inch, accommodating a broad spectrum of material thickness combinations. The multi-grip capability allows manufacturers to reduce fastener inventory by using a single rivet size across multiple joint configurations.
Primary application areas include:
-
Automotive and transportation — body panel assembly, chassis components, battery enclosure fastening
-
Heavy machinery and equipment — structural frame assembly, enclosure attachment, vibration-prone joints
-
Construction and infrastructure — metal roofing, HVAC ducting, facade panels, steel framing
-
Industrial manufacturing — cleanroom equipment, enclosure fabrication, general structural assembly
