Some production door hardware attaching screws contain an epoxy threadlocking compound to ensure that the original torque setting will be maintained.
The service attaching screws may not contain a threadlocking compound. Treat the threads of the fastener(s) with adhesive/sealant compound GM P/N 12345382 or equivalent for the following conditions:
• | To prevent loosening of the service screws. |
• | To renew threadlocking characteristics of production screws. |
Upon installation and drying the adhesive prevents the fastener from backing out.
The adhesive bond does not prevent future removal if required.
