Lockwood Flush Bolt Guide
A broken flush bolt guide shouldn't sideline otherwise good Lockwood equipment, and with a decent sample to work from it usually doesn't have to. With your sample on the bench this is a realistic reproduction job.

Why these break
Bolt guides wear and doors stop latching. Vibration fatigue does the damage: thousands of small flexes add up to a crack at the stress point, usually right where the part clips or pivots.
How we reproduce them
This is a quick job on our end — we take dimensions from your old part, adjust for print tolerances, and run a small batch so you have spares for next time.
We print these in Nylon. Nylon is slippery and fatigue-resistant, which makes it the right choice for parts that pivot, slide or flex thousands of times.
As with everything in our library: whether a part can be reproduced depends on size, load, heat, material, and having a decent sample to work from. Send photos first — the assessment costs you nothing, and we'll tell you honestly if a genuine spare is the better option.
