The SecureFix Direct Folded Straining Eyebolts (SFFE064) are essential hardware components designed for professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable solution for tensioning fencing wire. These eyebolts offer the key benefit of a robust, corrosion-resistant hold thanks to their zinc-plated finish, making them ideal for outdoor and long-term structural use. While they provide excellent durability for wire-tensioning projects, users should note that the 6mm bolt diameter is specifically intended for light to medium-duty tensioning and may not be suitable for heavy-duty industrial lifting or extreme weight loads.

Yes, the zinc-plated finish offers excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, making them suitable for most outdoor environments.
No, these are designed for straining and tensioning applications, not for overhead lifting or industrial rigging.
The bolt diameter is 6mm.
Yes, every unit comes with its own set of nuts and washers.
The overall length is 107mm.
Ensure the threads are free of debris or paint; try cleaning the threads with a wire brush or applying a light machine oil.
Check that the washer is seated properly and that the nut has been tightened firmly; consider using a locking washer or a dab of thread-locker if vibration is a factor.
To install these eyebolts, ensure your surface material is thick enough to support the 100mm length and that you have drilled a hole slightly larger than 6mm to prevent splitting the wood or stripping the metal surface. Always tighten the included nut until the washer creates a flush, pressurized seal against the surface to minimize vibration or movement. For care, although the zinc plating is highly resistant to corrosion, it is recommended to apply a light coating of silicone grease if used in coastal areas with high salt content to further extend the lifespan of the threads. Periodically check the tension on your wire systems and ensure the nuts remain tight to maintain structural integrity.
