Whiz-Lock
On May 22, 1959, John MacLean III filed a patent for his concept for “Fasteners Having Toothed Bearing Surfaces”. Tragically, John did not survive a plane crash in 1962, but he was able to see the initial success of his “Whiz-Lock” idea.
Today, “Whiz-Lock” is one of the most famous brands/terms in the fastener world and is a product now copied by nearly every fastener manufacturer in the world. Original Whiz-Lock nuts are still manufactured at our Mundelein, Illinois factory.
