If you are familiar with code-compliant FastenMaster LedgerLOK Structural Wood Screws, then you would know that traditionally, LedgerLOK screws have a large hex-head. It may come as exciting news to know there is a style of LedgerLOK screws with a flat head that may better fit some of your deck installations.
Application
LedgerLOK fasteners are designed specifically for attaching a deck ledger board to the rim joist of a house with no predrilling (replacing lag screws and through-bolts).
Size
LedgerLOK Flat Head Screws come in two lengths. A traditional 3-5/8″ for single ledgers, and a 5″ version for double ledgers and thicker applications. Remember when selecting a length, the point of the fastener should protrude through the inside of the rim for inspectability.
Features
The LedgerLOK Flat Head Screws offers two features that the original hex-head design does not offer: a flat washer head and TORX TTAP Drive System. These features allow the LedgerLOK flat head to be driven flush to the ledger surface, saving additional time and money. It is approved for use in treated lumber, including ground contact ACQ.
