Rivet Grip Selection
Always take the measurement to the top surface of the structure. If the “flush head” fasteners
are installed underflush (the countersink in the structure is too large), measure the total
thickness of the structure and then subtract the gap from the head of the fastener to the surface
of the structure.

COUNTERSINK SIZE
Use the Theoretical Diameter of the flush head fastener (see Standards Page for the specific
part number you are installing) as a guide. Matching the countersink to the theoretical head
diameter of the fastener will result in a relatively flush installation. For installing slightly
underflush, prepare the countersink a bit bigger than the theoretical head diameter.

Hole Preparation
Drilling Procedure
Use a clean, sharp, properly ground drill. Improperly
ground drills will create oval or oversize holes.
Improperly Properly
Ground Ground
Center the drill in the chuck so that the drill will run
true. A “wobble” in the drill will create an oversize hole.

misalignment
Tack rivets or clamps should be used to prevent material chips

operation.

Hole Preparation
COUNTERSINKING gap
Accurate countersinking is of primary importance to
the structural integrity of a flush riveted joint. Standard
countersinking procedures as used with solid rivets are
also applicable to CherryLOCK® rivets. The following
points, however, should be carefully noted:
The countersink pilot should be no more than .001" cocked head
smaller than the hole diameter. A greatly undersized
pilot will produce a countersink which is not
concentric with the hole, creating head gap problems.
An countersink pilot which is too small also creates
a countersink whose axis is not in line with the axis
of the drilled hole. This will result in a “cocked”
rivet head.
DIMPLING sharp
Normal dimpling procedures stretch and enlarge the edges
pilot holes in thin sheet applications. The sheets (as
dimpled) provide only sharp edges within the hole.
To overcome the problems inherent in this type of
application, the dimple should first be prepared with a
hole size which will allow for subsequent reaming. smooth
hole
The hole should then be reamed to the dimensions
specified for the size rivet being installed. For this
type of application, selecting a bulbed type fastener is
strongly recommended.

Cherrylock ® 'a' Installation
DE-BURRING
All drilling operations cause burrs to
form on each end of the hole being
drilled, as well as between the
sheets. Whenever possible, all burrs
should be removed.
When using a drill or center reamer remove chips
to remove burrs, care must be taken
to remove ONLY the burr. Do not
chamfer the sheets, as this may
materially affect the strength of
the riveted joint, particularly with
respect to the blind sheet. remove burrs

Rivet Removal
Should it be necessary to remove an installed
CherryLOCK® rivet, the following procedures
are recommended:
1. In thick material remove the lock by driving
out the rivet stem, using a pin punch.
13
Cherrylock ® 'A' Inspection
Inspection for the proper installation of CherryLOCK®
rivets can be made from the visible
side of the work.
If the rivet stem and collar are flush within the limits
described it can be safely concluded that a satisfactory
blind head and lock has been formed.

GRIP LENGTH
CherryLOCK® 'A' rivets have the grip length marked on the
rivet head (except 3/32" and 1/8" diameter and 5/32" in
NAS1O97 head style) to provide positive inspection from
the visible side to show that the rivets have been installed
with the correct grip.
14
Troubleshooting
Make sure that all the recommendations in this manual regarding hole preparation, tools and
installation technique are carefully followed. It is critical that the pulling heads are clean,
free from chips, burrs and dry sealant and are in good working condition. The following
troubleshooting guide will consider several sources of installation issues and their possible root
causes.
RIVET STEM PULLS THROUGH OR BREAKS HIGH
Rivet stem break notch pulls to .030” or higher above rivet head. Stem may or may not break.
SOURCE OF PROBLEM
A.For Cherrylock A, the nosepiece at the front of the
installation tool may be worn out; to correct, replace this
component with a new one. It is good practice to inspect
this tool feature regularly.
break
B. The installation hole is oversize -to correct, drill smaller notch
holes or use larger diameter rivet.
C. Rivet installed in under minimum grip–use shorter grip
rivet.
D. If installing wet, make sure that no sealant gets onto Pull-Through Break High
the plug end of the stem; this would reduce the installation friction causing the stem to
overshoot.
E. Wrong type of tools are used; make sure that the correct tools are used and they are in good
working condition. It is strongly recommended not to use any substitute tools
15
Troubleshooting
Poor Head Seating
Rivet head does not seat properly against top sheet or in
countersink.
Source of Problem
A. Holes slanted or misaligned–use more care to obtain
holes which are properly aligned and normal to the
sheets. Gap
B. Countersink not concentric with hole–use countersink
pilot which is close to hole size.
C. Installer “cocks” pulling head and rivet head during
installation. Installer should hold tool and pulling
head in a flexible manner, so rivet can clamp head
down properly.
