5/16” X 2” HEX LAG SCREW, ZINC PLATED

Engineered for robust wood-to-wood and metal-to-wood connections, this 5/16” x 2” hex lag screw provides superior holding power. The zinc plating offers excellent corrosion resistance for long-lasting performance in construction and framing. Its hex head is designed for easy installation with a standard wrench or socket.

  • Low Carbon Steel
  • Meets ASTM A307
  • Zinc Plated (ASTM B633)
  • Heavy-Duty Wood Fastening
Overview | Specifications | Applications | Finish Options | How to Measure | Order Checklist

This hex lag screw is manufactured from low carbon steel, providing a balance of strength and durability for general construction and framing applications. It is engineered to meet the requirements of ASTM A307, a key standard for carbon steel bolts and studs, ensuring a minimum tensile strength of 60,000 psi. The screw features a coarse thread pitch designed to bite securely into wood, while the zinc plating, applied per ASTM B633 standards, provides a protective layer against rust and corrosion, making it suitable for both interior and some exterior projects.

Ideal for projects requiring strong structural joints, these 5/16” x 2” hex lag screws are commonly used in deck building, framing, retaining walls, and attaching ledger boards. Their robust design makes them a go-to fastener for contractors, fabricators, and MRO professionals in the Los Angeles area. The hex head allows for high-torque application, ensuring a tight, secure connection in demanding load-bearing situations where standard wood screws are insufficient. They are an essential piece of commercial construction hardware for any heavy-duty woodworking project.

Specifications

  • Material: Low Carbon Steel
  • Standards: ASTM A307, ASTM B633 (for plating)
  • Strength/Tensile: 60,000 psi minimum
  • Dimensions: 5/16" Diameter x 2" Length
  • Finish: Zinc Plated
  • Certifications: Mill Test Reports (MTR) available upon request

Applications

  • Construction: Fastening ledger boards, deck framing, and fence posts.
  • Framing: Securing heavy timber beams and structural wood components.
  • Landscaping: Building retaining walls, playground equipment, and outdoor structures.
  • MRO: Repair and maintenance of wooden machinery bases, crates, and pallets.

Target Users

This product is essential for general contractors, framing carpenters, deck builders, and maintenance teams requiring a high-strength fastener for wood-based structural applications and MRO tasks.

Finish Options

This lag screw comes with a standard zinc-plated finish for moderate corrosion protection. For applications requiring enhanced weather resistance, hot-dip galvanized and stainless steel options may be available via special order. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.

How to Measure

Lag screws are measured by their diameter and length. The diameter (e.g., 5/16”) refers to the nominal shank diameter. The length (e.g., 2”) is measured from the underside of the hex head to the tip of the screw. Always ensure you have the correct pilot hole size for the wood you are fastening into to prevent splitting.

Example: Order Specification: 5/16” x 2” Hex Lag Screw, ASTM A307, Zinc Plated.
