The Timco M10 x 120mm Carriage Bolts are designed for professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable solution for heavy-duty timber clamping and ironmongery attachment. Engineered from high-grade A2 stainless steel, these bolts offer exceptional corrosion resistance, making them ideal for long-term outdoor use and harsh environments, though users should be aware that matching nuts must be purchased separately to complete the installation.

No, this specific pack includes only the carriage bolts. You will need to purchase M10 nuts separately.
These bolts use A2-304 stainless steel, which is rust-resistant but not recommended for direct salt-water immersion or extreme marine environments. A4-316 grade would be required for those settings.
These bolts are fully threaded up to and including 150mm lengths; since these are 120mm, they are fully threaded.
No, because they are made from A2 stainless steel, they do not suffer from the 'rust bleeding' common with zinc-plated or carbon steel bolts when exposed to moisture.
A 10mm drill bit is recommended. If the timber is particularly hard, an 11mm bit may be used to make the initial insertion easier.
Ensure the square shoulder has been fully driven into the timber with a hammer so that the 'teeth' or sides grip the wood fibers.
Verify the drill bit diameter matches the M10 specification; if the hole is too tight, clear out wood splinters or re-drill using a slightly larger bit.
Use a hammer to tap the dome head firmly; if it still protrudes, ensure there is no debris preventing the square shoulder from seating fully.
To install these bolts effectively, first drill a pilot hole through the timber using a 10mm or 11mm drill bit. Ensure the hole is straight to allow the bolt to pass through cleanly. Once inserted, the square shoulder must be driven into the wood with a hammer; ensure the head sits flush to the surface for a professional look. While A2 stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion, avoid using it in marine-grade salt-spray environments where A4-316 grade stainless steel would be required instead. Keep the threads clean of debris before tightening to prevent cross-threading the nut.
