DeckLok is a lateral anchor system that secures deck components to the structure of the deck in a way that is revolutionizing the deck industry. This patented lateral anchor 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 Advanced Lateral Anchor 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 Advantage: One DeckLok lateral anchor = 500% increase in rail post strength, two DeckLok Lateral Anchors = 4,000 lbs of ledger board pullout resistance!
- For Railposts: DeckLok provides a bolted connection between the guard railing post and the floor joists of the deck.
- For Stair Stringers: Decklok provides a stronger connection for stair stringers by creating a bolted connection to the deck frame. DeckLok augments the current method of attachment of stair stringers to the deck adding rigidity and strength by creating a bolted connection to the deck band board and floor joists.
- For Ledger Boards: Provides a bolt-on connection between your house and your sun deck. It stops catastrophic failure of decks by attaching directly to the house’s floor joist!
