    Steel Hex Head Wood Screws

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wood Screws. Steel Hex Head Wood Screws.
    Often used on posts and beams, the coarse threads on these screws dig in for a firm hold. The hex head's six contact points keep sockets in place to avoid slipping and stripping the drive. To tighten, use a wrench or six-point hex socket. Also known as lag bolts.
    Drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw to prevent splitting. Length is measured from under the head.
    Black-Oxide Steel—Typically chosen for their appearance, these screws have a dark, matte coating to create a finished look. They offer minimal corrosion resistance, so they're best for dry environments.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—A common choice for areas with occasional exposure to moisture.
    Black-Zinc-Plated Steel—The dark zinc plating withstands occasional exposure to moisture while creating a finished look.
    Hot-Dipped Galvanized Steel—Combines the strength of steel with the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. These screws are an economical alternative to 18-8 stainless steel in wet and outdoor environments. You can use them with chemically treated wood, such as ACQ-treated (arsenic-free) lumber, but they won't hold up to salt water.

    With coarse threads that dig in, these screws secure posts and beams in outdoor and wet environments. They won't degrade from moisture or chemically treated wood, such as ACQ-treated (arsenic-free) lumber.

    Drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw to prevent splitting. Length is measured from under the head.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these screws resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.

    Steel Flanged Hex Head Wood Screws

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wood Screws. Steel Flanged Hex Head Wood Screws.
    A built-in flange protects surfaces from splitting and pull-through by spreading pressure over a large area. These screws are often used to secure wooden posts and beams because their coarse threads dig in. The hex head's six contact points keep sockets in place to avoid slipping and stripping the drive. To tighten, use a wrench or six-point hex socket. Also known as lag bolts.
    Drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw to prevent splitting. Head height includes the flange. Length is measured from under the flange.
    Hot-Dipped Galvanized Steel—Combines the strength of steel with the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. These screws are an economical alternative to 18-8 stainless steel in wet and outdoor environments. You can use them with chemically treated wood, such as ACQ-treated (arsenic-free) lumber, but they won't hold up to salt water.

    A built-in flange protects surfaces from splitting and pull-through by spreading pressure over a large area. These screws won't rust, so you can use their coarse threads to secure posts and beams outdoors. They also won't degrade from chemically treated wood, such as ACQ-treated (arsenic-free) lumber. The hex head's six contact points keep sockets in place to avoid slipping and stripping the drive. To tighten, use a wrench or six-point hex socket. Also known as lag bolts.
    Drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw to prevent splitting. Head height includes the flange. Length is measured from under the flange.
    316 Stainless Steel—Superior to 18-8 stainless steel, these screws won't degrade when exposed to harsh weather, salt water, and most chemicals.

    High-Strength Anchors for Block and Brick

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Anchors. High-Strength Anchors for Block and Brick.
    Offering up to twice the strength of double expansion anchors, these US-made anchors expand in four directions for a superior grip in floors, walls, and ceilings. You can even use them to mount heavy machinery with constant motion, such as conveyors and vibrating feeders, because their ridges lock them in place to resist vibration. All of these anchors expand along their full length to distribute the gripping force, so they won’t crack soft materials. You can use them in concrete near edges, corners, or other weak points as an alternative to drop-in anchors.
    To install, tap the anchor into a drilled hole. Insert a screw or threaded rod through your machinery and into the anchor. Then, tighten to expand the anchor. All create a permanent female-threaded connection that lets you remove and reinstall a screw or threaded rod.

    Anchors for Block and Brick

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Anchors. Anchors for Block and Brick.
    Also known as double expansion anchors, these expand from both sides for full contact with your hole’s walls. They’re often used to mount handrails, shelving, and light fixtures. Since the gripping force is distributed along the entire length of the anchor, it won’t crack soft materials like block and brick. You can use these anchors as an alternative to drop-in anchors in concrete near edges, corners, or other weak points, but they are not as strong.
    To install, hammer into a drilled hole and position your component. Then, insert a screw or threaded rod and tighten. For maximum expansion, the anchor should protrude slightly above the surface before threading the screw. All create a permanent female-threaded connection that lets you remove and reinstall a screw or threaded rod. They cannot be used in overhead applications.

    Anchors for Hollow Block and Brick

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Anchors. Anchors for Hollow Block and Brick.
    Requiring minimal installation depth, these anchors are best for thin cinder block and hollow core panel walls and ceilings. All expand when fastened to create permanent female-threaded connections that let you remove and reinstall a screw or threaded rod. They fit into smaller holes than toggle anchors for hollow block and brick but are not as strong.
    To install, place the anchor into a drilled hole, cone end first. Tap the anchor into the hole until it's flush with the surface. Then, position your component, insert a screw or threaded rod, and tighten.

    Lag Anchors for Block and Brick

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Anchors. Lag Anchors for Block and Brick.
    Pair with large-diameter wood screws, often called lag screws, to secure heavy wood structures like beams and joists to block, brick, and concrete. As you tighten your screw, these anchors expand while their lobes grip the hole’s walls for a strong hold.
    To install, tap the anchor into a drilled hole until it’s flush or slightly below the surface. Then, position your structure, insert a lag screw, and tighten. You can remove your lag screw to disassemble or adjust the structure. However, frequently removing the screw will weaken the strength. The anchor itself cannot be removed.
