Fastener Specifications & Information
Many of our structural wood fasteners are backed by DrJ TER (Technical Evaluation Reports), providing engineers, builders, and code officials with independent verification of performance, compliance, and code acceptance. Proprietary ZYTEC™ coating technology delivers exceptional corrosion resistance for demanding exterior and treated-lumber applications, helping extend fastener service life. For the most aggressive environments, our Stainless Steel fasteners offer superior corrosion protection, strength, and durability, making them ideal for coastal construction, decks, docks, and long-lasting structural connections.
