Product Information

Full details

The TIMco 12120CB Carriage Bolt and Hex Nut set is designed for carpenters, landscapers, and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, high-strength solution for fastening heavy timber projects. These M12 bolts provide exceptional clamping force and include a square shoulder design to prevent rotation during installation, though users should be aware that the carbon steel construction requires a protective finish in highly corrosive environments despite the zinc coating.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are the nuts included in the box?

Yes, each box contains 10 carriage bolts and 10 matching hex nuts.

Are these bolts fully threaded?

Yes, this specific 120mm length is fully threaded.

What is the head diameter?

The domed head has a diameter of 30.00mm.

Can these be used outdoors?

They feature a zinc finish, which is suitable for standard outdoor applications, though they should be protected in high-corrosion or coastal areas.

What size hole should I drill?

Use a drill bit that matches the 12mm diameter to allow for a secure fit while still allowing the bolt to pass through the timber.

Is the material magnetic?

Yes, as they are manufactured from carbon steel, they will react to a magnet.

Troubleshooting

Bolt head turns while tightening the nut

Ensure the square shoulder has been fully seated into the timber by tapping it with a mallet until it is flush.

Nut is difficult to thread onto the bolt

Check for debris in the threads and ensure the nut is not being cross-threaded during the initial rotation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Square shoulder effectively prevents bolt spinning during tightening
  • Includes matching hex nuts for a complete installation solution
  • Standard metric M12 threading ensures compatibility with standard tools
  • Domed head offers a clean, professional finish

Cons

  • Not suitable for marine or highly corrosive environments
  • Limited to 120mm length applications
  • Carbon steel may rust if the zinc layer is deeply scratched

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, ensure the hole is drilled straight to allow the square shoulder to seat evenly. Because these are M12 bolts, use a 12mm or 13mm drill bit depending on the density of the wood to allow for a snug fit. While the Zinc plating provides corrosion resistance, avoid using these in contact with treated woods containing high copper levels unless a secondary barrier is used. Periodically check nuts for tightness, especially in exterior timber projects where wood expansion and contraction cycles may occur. Store in a dry, low-humidity area to maintain the integrity of the zinc finish.
