1/4" X 2" HEX LAG SCREW, ZINC PLATED
The 1/4" x 2" Hex Lag Screw is a heavy-duty fastener designed to create strong, reliable joints in wood and other soft materials. Its sharp gimlet point and coarse threads provide excellent grip and pull-out resistance, while the zinc plating offers corrosion protection for lasting durability in various construction and MRO projects.
- Low Carbon Steel
- Meets ASTM A307 Specifications
- Zinc Plated (ASTM B633)
- Wood Construction & Framing
Engineered from low carbon steel, this hex lag screw is designed for strength and utility, adhering to the performance requirements of ASTM A307. This standard specifies carbon steel bolts and studs with a minimum tensile strength of 60,000 psi, ensuring robust performance in light to medium-duty applications. The screw features a hex head for high-torque installation with standard wrenches or sockets, coarse threads for maximum engagement in wood, and a gimlet point for easy starting without pre-drilling in softer woods.
Ideal for projects requiring a strong wood fastener, these lag screws are commonly used in deck building, framing, fence construction, and securing heavy fixtures to wooden structures. The zinc plating provides a moderate level of corrosion resistance, making them suitable for interior and protected exterior environments. Their high clamping force makes them a superior choice over standard wood screws for assembling large timber components, attaching ledger boards, and other structural wood-to-wood or metal-to-wood connections.

Target Users
This fastener is essential for professional contractors, builders, carpenters, and maintenance technicians involved in residential and commercial construction. It is the go-to choice for any project that requires a high-strength, durable connection in lumber and engineered wood products.
Finish Options
This lag screw comes standard with a clear zinc-plated finish according to ASTM B633 standards, providing good corrosion resistance for indoor or sheltered outdoor use. For applications with higher exposure to the elements, hot-dip galvanized or stainless steel options may be available via special order.
How to Measure
Lag screws are specified by their diameter and length. The diameter is the nominal size of the screw's shank. The length is measured from the underside of the hex head to the tip of the screw's point.
Example: 1/4" (Diameter) x 2" (Length) Hex Lag Screw.
