TimberLOK Structural Wood Screws

 14 Aug 23:

TimberLOK structural wood screws. We discovered these screws last year and have been using them in place of 3/16th inch diameter lag bolts. We use a lot of SPF (Spruce Pine Fir) lumber and the TimberLOK has over twice the shear strength of the lag bot or 16d nail. Easy to install, even more so with an impact driver. Most recent application today was to attach handrail posts to the new and and improved ladderwell for the light ship.


Hard to read the TimberLok shear load number in this photo, but it is 260 pound foot. 


Second post and handrail went up today.
