Lift-The-DOT Threaded Stud & Nut (Short)
Genuine DOT® Marine-Grade Hardware
This genuine DOT® Lift-the-DOT threaded stud and nut assembly is a premium directional locking fastener. Designed for heavy-duty marine and automotive environments, the 'Short' version provides a secure mounting point on panels or solid surfaces where a through-bolt installation is required. Unlike standard snaps, the Lift-the-DOT mechanism only releases when lifted from the specific side marked with the 'DOT', ensuring your boat covers, sprayhoods, or vintage car tops remain secure even under extreme wind or tension.
Key Features
- ✔ Directional Locking: Prevents accidental release
- ✔ Marine-Grade: Rust-resistant nickel-plated brass
- ✔ Precision Fit: Standard 8-32 UNC machine thread
- ✔ Complete Set: Includes matching 8-32 hex nut

Questions & Answers
Is this a genuine original part?
Yes, this is a genuine DOT® brand fastener manufactured by Scovill. It is the industry standard for marine canvas and automotive restoration.
How do I know if it is compatible?
This stud is compatible with all standard Lift-the-DOT sockets. The thread is an 8-32 machine thread; if you are replacing an existing stud, ensure the hole is sized for an #8 screw.
What is the difference between the Short and Long stud?
The 'Short' stud features a 3/8" (approx 9.5mm) thread length, ideal for mounting through thin panels or metal brackets. The 'Long' version (5/8") is typically used for thicker materials or through-hull applications.
Note: To ensure a secure fit, always check your thread pitch and panel thickness before purchasing. For genuine performance, always look for the DOT trademark on the fastener.
