Prevent and repair oversized hole conditions, quickly and economically.
Click Bond ACRES® sleeves offer an economical solution to prevent oversized holes and provide enhanced structural-fatigue protection for composite panels. Made with deep-draw manufacturing methods, our sleeves deliver unmatched performance and precision.
PANDOR® sleeves protect holes in panels, doors, covers, and skins, preventing hole damage from fastener insertion, in-service wear, or environmental intrusion. Installation of our bonded repair sleeves return damaged holes to nominal diameter.
BOLTMOD® sleeves, named for their ability to modify bolts and pins, permit the creation of a first-oversize or second-oversize fastener at greatly reduced cost. Interference fit to nominal diameter fasteners.
CB787 Sleeve Trimmer Kit. Get flight ready faster! Reduce the repair sleeve inventory needed for odd-length bolts, and increase the ability to quickly create first and second oversized bolts using the same BOLTMOD® sleeves for a variety of bolt lengths.

What are the benefits of an adhesive-bonded fastening system?
1. Improve Cycle Time | Adhesive-bonded fastening solutions maximize design and work sequence flexibility while reducing assembly time.
2. Reduce Foreign Object Debris | Without the need for rivets, washers, and bolts, FOD risk is reduced.
3. Reduce Production Costs | Elimination of drilling and associated steps streamlines and derisks production processes and lowers total cost.
4. Simplify Installation & Maintenance | Our easy, three-step installation process can be performed in the factory, at sea, or even on the battlefield, facilitating production, retrofits, and repairs.
5. Prevent Corrosion | Our fastening solutions integrate an adhesive barrier between the substrate and the fastener, preventing galvanic corrosion.
6. Reduce Weight | Adhesive-bonded fasteners eliminate the need for rivet holes and localize reinforcement, ultimately reducing material and optimizing weight on the structure.
7. Avoids Errors & Rework | A major share of shop floor rework costs relates to misdrilled holes. This is eliminated with adhesive-bonded fasteners.
8. Preserve Structural Integrity | Adhesive bonding eliminates structural holes, removes stress concentrations, and prevents fatigue crack initiation.
