Swivel Spindle Dimensions
This Tuff Stuff 4523 is a steel swivel spindle measuring 9/32" square by 4-3/4" long. It features 20 TPI 3/8" threading with a stop notch and tapped holes on both ends. The satin chrome finish provides corrosion resistance for lasting performance.
Compatibility Guidance
It suits repairs on surface mount mortise locksets needing this exact square size and thread pitch. Builders working with tubular latchsets or modern pre-assembled lock bodies should look elsewhere because the square drive and threading will not match.
Critical Specification
The 9/32" square dimension decides fit; a larger or smaller square will not engage the lock hub correctly. Verify the existing spindle measures exactly this size before ordering.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the 9/32" square spindle fits my surface-mount mortise lockset after installation?
Insert the spindle; the stop notch should engage cleanly and the 3/8"-20 tapped holes on both ends must align with your lockset's set screws without forcing.
What comes in the box and do I need separate set screws for the 3/8"-20 threads?
The box contains the steel swivel spindle model 4523 with satin chrome finish; set screws for the 3/8"-20 tapped holes are not included and must be sourced separately.
