*** Safety factor=2:1. Pins with grip lengths over 8" (special) are not heat treated, in order to maintain straightness. Double shear strength will be reduced approximately 20-50%. Steel pins over 8" long will may have a black oxide finish instead of plating. Pins in larger diameters than listed here are available as specials (may be made from alternate steels).

MS-certified pins available as specials at higher cost

(NAS-certified pins available as specials
at higher cost)

*These are the only standard combinations of Handle Material, Handle Style, Spindle Material, and BLP-BPD type directly convertible from NAS to Carr Lane. Other combinations are available as specials.
