FASTENMASTER HEADLOK STRUCTURAL WOOD SCREW - 2-7/8", 500-PACKFastenMaster HeadLok structural wood screws replace 3/8" lag bolts in wood-to-wood connections, eliminating the need for pre-drilling, wrenching, and washers. The wide, low-profile flat wafer head (0.625" diameter) sits flush and distributes load like a washer, while the aggressive thread profile delivers exceptional withdrawal and holding strength.
- Length: 2-7/8"
- Replaces 3/8" lag bolts - no pre-drilling required
- Flat wafer head installs flush, no washers needed
- Carbon steel with black Ecoat corrosion-resistant coating
- ACQ approved for use in pressure-treated lumber
- Chisel gimlet point for fast, self-starting installation
- ICC-ES ESR-1078 code compliant for structural connections
- Requires T30 TORX drive bit (included with most pack sizes)
- 500 screws per bucket
Applications: deck board to joist, fence pickets, stair tread to stringer, and other 1-1/2" thick stock fastened to dimensional lumber.
Tip: Drive with a high-torque impact driver or corded drill - a standard 12V drill can stall partway through long screws. For installations near board edges, the chisel point reduces splitting but does not eliminate it on dry softwoods; set the screw back 1-1/2 times its diameter from the edge.
