What is a Hanger Bolt?

A hanger bolt is a type of fastener with wood screw threads on one end and machine screw threads on the other. The wood screw end is driven into wood or similar materials, while the machine screw end allows for the attachment of nuts, washers, or other hardware. This dual-thread design makes hanger bolts ideal for creating strong, removable connections between wood and metal components. They are commonly installed by pre-drilling a pilot hole and using a wrench or driver for proper tightening.

Key Features of a Hanger Bolt:

• Dual Thread Design: One end has wood screw threads, and the other has machine screw threads.
• High Strength: Made from durable materials like stainless steel, carbon steel, or zinc-plated steel for corrosion resistance.
• Versatility: Enables the secure fastening of wood to metal parts or hardware.
• Easy Installation: Can be driven into wood with a wrench, pliers, or the double-nut method.
• Available in Various Sizes: Offered in a range of lengths and thread diameters to suit different applications.

Common Uses:

• Attaching legs to furniture such as tables, chairs, and cabinets.
• Mounting hardware or brackets to wooden structures.
• Securing metal components or machinery to wooden bases.
• Applications where a strong and removable wood-to-metal connection is required.
• DIY projects and carpentry work where both wood and metal parts need to be connected.
