Product Information

Full details

The Timco Carriage Bolt & Hex Nut set is designed for professional carpenters, contractors, and DIY enthusiasts requiring a secure, non-rotational fastening solution for timber applications. Its primary benefit is the square anti-spin shoulder that locks into place during tightening, making it ideal for attaching ironmongery or joining heavy timber beams; however, users should note that the M12 diameter requires a pre-drilled pilot hole to prevent splitting of softer woods.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are the nuts included with the bolts?

Yes, every bolt comes with a matching hex nut included in the package.

What size drill bit do I need for an M12 bolt?

You should use a 12mm drill bit to ensure the bolt fits snugly while allowing the shoulder to seat.

Is this bolt fully threaded?

Yes, for the 100mm length, this bolt is fully threaded.

Can I use these for metal-to-metal connections?

Carriage bolts are specifically designed for timber applications where the square shoulder can grip the material. They are not recommended for metal-to-metal fastening.

What is the material finish?

The bolts feature a silver finish, suitable for standard timber applications.

Can these be used outdoors?

They are suitable for exterior timber structures, though it is recommended to keep them away from direct, standing water contact to maintain longevity.

Troubleshooting

Bolt rotates when tightening the nut

Ensure the square shoulder is properly seated in the wood by tapping the head firmly with a hammer.

Bolt is difficult to insert through the hole

Check that the pilot hole is clear of debris and is drilled to the correct 12mm diameter.

Timber split during installation

Ensure you are using a sharp drill bit and that the bolt is not placed too close to the edge of the timber.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Anti-spin square shoulder simplifies one-person installation
  • Provides a clean, finished look with the domed head
  • Includes matching hex nuts for convenience
  • High-strength steel construction suitable for heavy-duty timber

Cons

  • Requires a precise pilot hole for proper installation
  • Not suitable for applications requiring a flush surface finish
  • Restricted delivery area within certain regions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, mark your drill point and use a 12mm drill bit to create a pilot hole through both pieces of timber. Insert the carriage bolt through the hole and tap it lightly with a hammer until the square shoulder is fully embedded in the wood. Thread the included hex nut onto the bolt and tighten until secure. Because the bolt is made of steel, avoid over-tightening in damp conditions to prevent moisture from pooling around the head, which can lead to oxidation. Periodically check for tightness in outdoor projects as timber may shrink over time due to seasonal weather changes.
