Devices are disclosed for locking rotatable fasteners in a construction element including a shaped surface which defines an axis of rotation for the rotatable fastener, and at least one protrusion extending into the shaped surface as a lock for the rotatable fastener, in which the protrusion can be processed with respect to the axis of rotation of the rotatable fastener to create an end surface on the protrusion which is a predetermined distance from the axis of rotation of the rotatable fastener irrespective of the location of the axis of rotation relative to the shaped surface. Methods for producing such devices are also disclosed.
