Hanger Bolt
A Hanger Bolt is a specialized type of fastener that combines the features of a wood screw and a machine screw into a single component. It is primarily used for attaching items to wood surfaces.
Key features of a Hanger Bolt include:
Dual Threaded Shaft:
One end has a wood screw thread, designed to grip into the wood.
The other end has a machine screw thread, which can be used to attach items.
The shaft of a hanger bolt has two distinct thread patterns:
Head Design:
Hanger bolts typically have a hex head or a slotted head, allowing them to be tightened using a wrench, socket, or screwdriver.
Hardened Steel:
Hanger bolts are usually made from hardened, corrosion-resistant steel, such as stainless steel or case-hardened carbon steel.
This ensures the bolt can withstand the stresses of being installed in wood and supporting the weight of attached items.
The key benefits of a Hanger Bolt include:
Secure Wood Attachment:
The wood screw thread on one end of the hanger bolt allows it to be firmly anchored into the wood, providing a strong and stable foundation.
Versatile Mounting Options:
The machine screw thread on the other end of the hanger bolt can be used to attach a variety of items, such as hangers, hooks, brackets, or other hardware.
Time-Saving Installation:
Hanger bolts can often be installed directly into the wood without the need for pre-drilling, saving time and effort during the installation process.
Durable Performance:
The hardened steel construction of the hanger bolt ensures it can withstand heavy loads and stresses without deforming or breaking.
Hanger Bolts are commonly used in a wide range of applications, including:
Attaching hooks, hangers, or other hardware to wooden beams, furniture, or structures.
Securing light-to-medium-duty fixtures, such as shelves, cabinets, or lighting, to wooden surfaces.
Assembling and fastening wooden components in various DIY and woodworking projects.
The dual-threaded design and versatile mounting options make hanger bolts a popular choice for applications where a strong, reliable connection between wood and attached hardware is required.
