FAQ
How do I install a hanger bolt?
Drill a pilot hole in the wood, thread two nuts onto the machine thread and lock them against each other, then drive the bolt with a wrench on the top nut. Remove the nuts and attach your part with a nut. A hanger bolt driver also works.
Do lag screws need a pilot hole?
Yes. Drill a pilot hole for the threaded part about 60 to 70 percent of the screw diameter in softwood, a little larger in hardwood, and a clearance hole the full diameter for the smooth shank.
