What is the DeckLok Bracket System?
DeckLok is a bracket system that secures deck components
to the structure of the deck in a way that is revolutionizing
the deck industry. This patented bracket system strengthens
the vulnerable connections between deck components by adding
a bolted attachment at critical structural locations.
Current deck fastening techniques rely on resistance
to "pullout" force... like using a nail to hold a
crowbar. The DeckLok Bracket System creates
stronger deck connections by redirecting the force of the load
from "pullout" to a connection in "shear" at
the deck floor joist.
The DeckLok
Bracket System provides the strength required to meet
or exceed IRC 2006 Safety Code requirements for both lateral pullout
and rail post stability while using your current deck construction
techniques and designs.
The bracket is available in ACQ compatible galvanized coating
and in 304 or 316 Stainless Steel.
The Advantage: One DeckLok bracket = 500% increase in rail
post strength, two DeckLok brackets = 4,000 lbs of ledger board
pullout resistance!
Easily install DeckLok Bracket System new or retrofit to existing
structure
Easily install rail sections with RailLok!
Because of the terrific acceptance of the DeckLok Bracket System for attaching railings to decks and deck ledger boards to houses, the company has introduced the new RailLok, a mini version of the original DeckLok. RailLok is just as rugged as the full size bracket, but at half the size. RailLok is being used to connect rail sections to the post, either as a 90’ platform or as a saddle. Attach the brackets to the rail post using timber lags and then slip preassembled railing sections into the brackets and screw them in place. The RailLok brackets provide a strong, reliable railing to post connection. The fasteners are built to outlast the service life of the deck. RailLok is available in 316 Stainless Steel and white or black powder coat finish. More info | Order Now
