DeckLok Deck Bracket, 304 Stainless Steel

Can your deck rail posts resist a force of 500lbs at a point 36" above the surface of your deck? Sadly, many existing deck railings cannot meet this requirement of the International Residential Code. DeckLok deck brackets replace traditional lag and carriage bolts connections between the railing posts and rim board, and between the band board and the house framing, strengthening this critical connection by transferring the lateral load to the floor joists. DeckLok brackets add two through-bolts to increase the strength of most connections by 500%. The brackets meet the new IRC 2000 Safety Code requirements for both lateral pullout and rail post stability and because these fasteners are under the deck and out of site, have no impact on the aesthetics of your deck. Easily used on new or existing construction. Each deck bracket requires three 1/2" diameter hot dip galvanized or stainless steel through bolts (order separately). Made in USA.
