I would be interested in views on the way keenserts should be installed into continuous fibre reinforced composites. Do people believe the locking keys should be used (despite the additional damage caused to the fibres)or should the key be removed and the insert just be bonded into the composite?

Key-locked inserts are not suitable for installation into composite laminates. There are other types of threaded inserts that are specifically designed for installation into composite structures.
