Note: IBC Code requires the guard rail post to resist
a force of 500lbs at a point 36" above the surface of
the deck. DeckLok does this!
Mounting the DeckLok brackets directly to the base of the
rail post, or to the deck board, creates a solid mounting
surface while still using traditional construction techniques.
Independent laboratory testing confirms that the DeckLok
System increases guard rail lateral load capacity by 4 times
the current capacity.
Best of all, the versatility of the DeckLok System allows
the brackets to be incorporated into the railing design without
affecting the rail post spacing desired by the designer or
installer. With DeckLok, the rail post spacing determines
the placement of the bracket, not the other way around!
Benefits:
- Meets IBC requirement of 500lbs of force
- Simplistic design compliments most railing systems
- Easy to install
- Works in both new construction and retrofit
- Help avoids personal injuries (and lawsuits) due to rail post
failure
