Hillman's Exterior Black Coated Lag Screws, often referred to as lag bolts. These heavy-duty fasteners are designed for robust and secure fastening in various exterior woodworking projects, such as deck framing, securing structures to masonry, and attaching heavy components where a strong, reliable bond is required.
Hillman's lag screws are engineered with a black coating that provides significant protection against corrosion, offering a level of resistance that is ten times greater than that of standard zinc-coated screws. This is a critical feature for fasteners used in outdoor environments where exposure to moisture and varying weather can lead to corrosion and weaken the integrity of the fastening.
The black finish of the lag screws not only serves a practical purpose in terms of durability but also provides an aesthetic benefit. The sleek black color allows these fasteners to blend in with the materials they are joining, creating a clean and consistent look for outdoor construction projects. This is particularly advantageous for applications where the head of the bolt may be visible and where appearance is as important as functionality.
Carrying the ACQ approval seal, these lag screws are confirmed to be compatible with pressure-treated lumber, ensuring that they do not react adversely with the chemicals in the treated wood, which can cause corrosion and compromise the strength of the fastening.
Hillman's Exterior Black Coated Lag Screws are available in a variety of lengths and diameters to accommodate different load requirements and project specifications. They are the go-to choice for builders and DIY enthusiasts who require a fastener that offers both a high degree of structural integrity and an aesthetically pleasing finish for their outdoor projects.
