AGAWAM, Mass., Jan. 2023 – FasÂtenÂMasÂter, a diviÂsion of OMG, Inc., has introÂduced VerÂsaÂLOK, a heavy-duty strucÂturÂal wood screw for use on a wide range of inteÂriÂor and exteÂriÂor wood-to-wood appliÂcaÂtions includÂing angle bracÂing, retainÂing walls, and carÂryÂing beam conÂnecÂtions. VerÂsaÂLOK is the latÂest addiÂtion to the company’s indusÂtry-leadÂing LOK line of strucÂturÂal wood fasteners.
The highÂly verÂsaÂtile VerÂsaÂLOK proÂvides the strength of a ½‑inch lag bolt, with the instalÂlaÂtion ease and speed of a LOK. The new fasÂtenÂer is designed with a flat head for flush instalÂlaÂtion and feaÂtures a TORX® ttap® driÂve sysÂtem for staÂble, wobÂble-free installation.
In addiÂtion, heavy-duty VerÂsaÂLOK fasÂtenÂers are engiÂneered to delivÂer maxÂiÂmum strength and proÂvide an aggresÂsive three-inch thread design for greater holdÂing power.The result is a fasÂtenÂer with highÂer shear strength than ½‑inch lag bolts and, as with allÂLOK line fasÂtenÂers, installs quickÂly withÂout pre-drilling.
VerÂsaÂLOK fasÂtenÂers are availÂable in 6‑, 8- and 10-inch lengths and are IBC/IRC code comÂpliÂant (ICC-ES ESR-1078), ACQ approved, and offer FastenMaster’s excluÂsive ProÂjectLife® coatÂing guarÂanÂteed for the life of the project.
“VerÂsaÂLOK is the latÂest addiÂtion to our catÂeÂgoÂry-creÂatÂing LOK Line of strucÂturÂal fasÂtenÂers,” said NikÂki Long, strucÂturÂal busiÂness unit direcÂtor. ​“VersaLOK’s ProÂjectLife™ coatÂing is guarÂanÂteed for the life of the project and speaks to the qualÂiÂty of prodÂucts we conÂtinÂue to develÂop for our proÂfesÂsionÂal contractors.”
