Structural Dome

Structural Dome (Anlock Mega Lock)
Choose an Anlock Mega Lock structural rivet when the joint is load-bearing and a standard pop rivet is not strong enough. The mandrel stays locked inside the shell after setting, so the rivet keeps its full shear and tensile strength instead of relying on the hollow shell alone.
How this type works
Heavy-duty mandrel-retained rivet. The mandrel is permanently locked inside the shell after setting, adding shear strength comparable to a small bolt. Used in structural fabrication, trailer manufacture, signage frames and panel work.
Drill size
Match the drill to the rivet body diameter plus ~0.1mm clearance. 2.4mm rivet → 2.5mm drill (or 3/32"); 3.2mm → 3.3mm (1/8"); 4mm → 4.1mm (5/32"); 4.8mm → 4.9mm (3/16"); 6.4mm → 6.5mm (1/4").
