Hanger Bolts

Headless Fasteners with Machine Thread and Wood Screw Thread for Timber-to-Component Mounting

Hanger Bolts are headless double-ended fasteners with machine thread on one end and coarse wood screw thread on the other. The wood-thread end anchors into timber, while the exposed machine-thread end provides a connection point for nuts, brackets, mounting hardware or other threaded components.

Product Overview

Hanger Screws combine a fine machine-thread connection and a coarse wood-thread anchor in one straight, headless fastener. They are not Double End Studs, Dowel Screws or DIN 571 hex-head wood screws.

The pointed wood-thread end is installed into a suitable pilot hole in timber. The machine thread remains exposed for a bracket, fixture, nut or compatible female-threaded component, creating a removable wood-to-metal connection.

For quotation, specify machine-thread size and pitch, overall length, machine-thread and wood-thread lengths, direct midpoint transition, material, finish, application, quantity and drawing or sample.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Hanger Bolt?

A headless fastener with wood thread at one end and machine thread at the other.

What is the difference between a Hanger Bolt and a Double End Stud?

A Hanger Bolt combines wood and machine threads; a Double End Stud has machine threads at both ends.

How is a Hanger Bolt installed?

Use a suitable pilot hole and two locked jam nuts, or a specified dedicated drive feature.

Can Hanger Bolts be supplied in 304 or 316 Stainless Steel?

Yes. 304/A2 and 316/A4 are available according to application, along with carbon-steel options.

What dimensions are required for a custom Hanger Bolt?

Provide machine-thread size and pitch, overall length, both thread-zone lengths, wood-thread diameter, optional center, material, finish and quantity.
