Rapid Cage Nuts

What are cage nuts?

A cage nut consists of a spring steel cage which wraps around the nut.

How does it work?

The cage has two side wings, when compressed, they allow the cage to be installed into a square hole, for example, in the mounting rails of equipment racks. When the wings are released, they hold the nut in position behind the panel.

Benefits over threaded holes

choice of nut sizes easy to install
if a screw is over-tightened, the nut can be replaced, unlike a pre-threaded hole
cage nuts are easy to use in thin or soft panels where it is difficult to make a threaded hole
