Wrong Size Lag Screws For Angle Bracket
Here's a problem I even dealt with as a stair builder, especially
after the job foreman instructed me that we needed to install
angle brackets like those in
the picture above with lag bolts
or screws, after the stairway was completed.
Sometimes using the
recommended lag screws will be difficult, especially after you have
other parts of the stairs like the steps themselves "blocking the space
required" to actually install the correct sized lag bolts.
You
should always check with the manufacturer of the
building hardware you're
planning on using and make sure you're going to use the correct
fasteners like lag bolts, bolts, nuts and washers or screws. Remember,
the manufacturers of these products have thoroughly tested them and have
a pretty good idea what's required to provide the property owner with a
long lasting and durable stairway.
