Product Information

Full details

This guide is for DIY enthusiasts, gardeners, and tradespeople needing robust fastening solutions. The SecureFix Direct Galvanised Longshank Eyebolts with Nut offer strong, corrosion-resistant anchoring for various applications. A key caveat is that these eyebolts do not have a specified load rating, so they should not be used for safety-critical lifting or overhead applications where weight capacity is paramount. This pack of four eyebolts features a hot-dipped galvanised finish for durability and a long shank for secure installation in thicker materials.

FAQs

What are the main uses for these eyebolts?

These eyebolts are ideal for general-purpose anchoring in DIY, fencing, gardening, and light commercial applications. They are suitable for securing items to walls, posts, or beams where a strong mechanical hold is required.

Are these eyebolts suitable for lifting heavy objects?

No, these eyebolts do not have a specified load rating and are not designed or tested for lifting or overhead suspension. For such applications, you must use specialized lifting eyebolts with certified weight capacities.

What is the material and finish of these eyebolts?

The eyebolts are made of steel with a hot-dipped galvanised finish, which provides good resistance to rust and corrosion.

What are the dimensions of the eyebolt?

The overall length (D) is 190mm, with a shank length (E) of 148mm and a thread diameter (B) of 7.9mm. The eye internal diameter (C) is 9.1mm.

Do I need any special tools to install them?

You will typically need a drill to create the hole, and wrenches to tighten the eyebolt and nut securely.

Can these be used outdoors?

Yes, the hot-dipped galvanised finish makes them suitable for outdoor use as it offers good protection against corrosion. However, they should still be inspected periodically, especially in harsh environments.

What is the quantity in one pack?

Each pack contains four galvanised longshank eyebolts with nuts.

Troubleshooting

Eyebolt spins but doesn't tighten.

The hole may be too large or the material is too soft. Try using a larger drill bit to create a slightly bigger hole and insert appropriate wall plugs (if applicable) or wood filler before re-drilling. Ensure the nut is securely tightened against the material.

Nut is difficult to thread onto the eyebolt.

Check for any damage or burrs on the eyebolt threads. Ensure you are using the correct size nut. Clean the threads on both the eyebolt and the nut. Try using a thread lubricant to aid insertion.

Eyebolt appears to be rusting.

While galvanised, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions can eventually affect the coating. Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Minor surface rust can sometimes be wiped away with a soft cloth. For significant corrosion, replacement may be necessary.

Difficulty drilling the initial hole.

Ensure you are using the correct type and size of drill bit for the material you are drilling into. For hard materials like concrete, use a masonry drill bit and a hammer drill setting. Do not force the drill; let the bit do the work.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable hot-dipped galvanised coating for longevity and rust prevention.
  • Long shank provides deep and secure fixation in various materials.
  • Comes with nuts for immediate and secure installation.
  • Supplied in a convenient pack of four.
  • Suitable for a wide array of non-critical domestic and commercial uses.

Cons

  • No specified load rating, making them unsuitable for lifting or safety-critical applications.
  • Galvanised finish may vary slightly in appearance.
  • Requires appropriate tools for installation (e.g., wrench, drill).
  • Only available in one size as specified by dimensions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Drill Hole: Select an appropriate drill bit size slightly smaller than the shank diameter (approx. 7.9mm). Drill a hole to the desired depth, ensuring it is long enough to accommodate the eyebolt shank and nut.
  2. Insert Eyebolt: Screw the eyebolt into the pre-drilled hole. If the material is dense, you may need to use a wrench on the nut or an Allen key (if applicable) to start the thread.
  3. Attach Nut: Place the nut onto the protruding shank from the other side of the material. Tighten securely with a wrench.
  4. Final Tightening: Once the nut is snug, use wrenches to tighten both the eyebolt and the nut, ensuring a firm and stable connection. Be careful not to overtighten, which could damage the material.

Compatibility:

  • These eyebolts are compatible with materials such as wood, brick, concrete (with appropriate wall plugs, not included), and other solid substrates.
  • The M8 thread size is standard for many applications.

Care:

  • The hot-dipped galvanised finish provides excellent corrosion resistance. To maintain this, avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that could scratch the surface.
  • Periodically check the tightness of the nut and eyebolt, especially if the secured item is subject to movement or vibration.
  • If used in highly corrosive environments, inspect for signs of wear or damage over time.
