Which item is a nut type used with check nuts or lock washer?

• A. Nuts
• B. Non Self Locking Nuts
• C. Self Locking
• D. Plate Nut

Answer: (A)

Locking methods like check nuts (jam nuts) and lock washers work with the basic nut to keep a bolt from loosening. The item that fits this use is the standard nut, which provides the threaded engagement and can be paired with a second nut or a washer to achieve locking. Self-locking nuts already have built-in locking features, so they are not the typical type used with a separate lock washer or an additional check nut in the same way. Plate nuts are a different style used to accept a bolt in a panel or plate, not the standard pairing described here. So the best fit is the standard nut.
