Direct replacement for Progressive 2638

The Tuff Stuff 4525 swivel spindle matches the Progressive #2638 brass knob set. It measures 3/8" square by 5" long with 1/4" tapped holes on both ends. The 1/2-20 thread pitch fits the original hardware exactly. Steel construction replaces the softer brass component.

Steel build with satin chrome finish

Heavy-duty steel resists bending under daily torque better than the original brass. Satin chrome surface withstands repeated handling without visible wear. Swivel action allows the knob to rotate freely while the spindle stays fixed in the lock body. Tapped holes on both sides accept standard set screws securely.

Upgrade when brass spindle strips or snaps

Install this spindle when the existing brass part rounds out or breaks inside the lock. The steel core prevents the failure mode that affects the original material. Buyers who need a different length or square dimension should look elsewhere. The part is sold individually, not as a paired set.
