Product Information

Full details

The TIMco M12 x 130mm Carriage Bolts are an essential hardware solution for DIY enthusiasts and professional carpenters who require high-strength fastening for timber projects or heavy-duty ironmongery. Engineered with a distinct domed head and a square anti-spin shoulder, these bolts provide a secure, clean finish, though users should note that the carbon steel construction requires a protective environment to prevent potential corrosion over long-term outdoor exposure despite the zinc plating.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are washers included with these bolts?

No, this product includes the carriage bolts and hex nuts only. Washers should be purchased separately if required for your specific application.

Can I use these for marine applications?

No, these are zinc-plated carbon steel bolts. They are not designed for marine or highly corrosive environments and may rust if exposed to salt water.

What is the head diameter of the bolt?

The domed head diameter is 30.00mm.

Do I need a special tool to drive the bolt?

You need a standard spanner or socket wrench to tighten the hex nut. The bolt head itself does not require a tool as it is designed to be self-locking.

What grade of steel are these bolts made from?

They are manufactured from Grade 4.8 carbon steel.

Troubleshooting

Bolt rotates when trying to tighten the nut

Ensure the square shoulder is fully seated into the timber by tapping the head with a mallet; if the hole is too wide, use a washer under the head.

Bolt is difficult to insert through the timber

Check that the hole is correctly aligned and verify the drill bit diameter is at least 12mm to accommodate the shank.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated square shoulder prevents rotation during tightening
  • Professional domed head provides a clean, snag-free finish
  • Complete set includes matching nuts for convenience
  • High-strength Grade 4.8 carbon steel construction

Cons

  • Zinc finish may require additional weather treatment for harsh environments
  • Requires pre-drilling of timber to avoid splitting
  • Not suitable for high-corrosion or marine environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, drill a hole through the timber using a 12mm drill bit. Insert the bolt through the hole and tap the domed head gently with a rubber mallet until the square shoulder is fully embedded into the wood. Secure the included hex nut from the opposite side using an appropriate spanner or socket wrench. As these are zinc-plated carbon steel, it is recommended to inspect them periodically for signs of oxidation if they are installed in high-moisture areas. For long-term preservation, consider applying a thin coat of exterior-grade paint or sealant over the exposed threads.
