1/4" Hex Head Lag Screws: Zinc Plated or Unfinished Plain Steel in 1-1/2", 2", 2-1/2", 3", & 4" Lengths
Get reliable, no-nonsense fastening for your timber projects with our 1/4" Hex Head Lag Screws from Cutting Edge Metals. These versatile lag bolts are offered in two practical finishes—zinc plated for everyday corrosion resistance and clean appearance, or unfinished plain steel for a raw industrial look that develops natural patina over time.
The 1/4" diameter makes these screws ideal for lighter to medium-duty applications such as attaching smaller brackets, securing thinner timbers, assembling furniture, mounting hardware, or finishing details in barn doors, pergolas, and reclaimed wood projects. Choose from lengths 1-1/2", 2", 2-1/2", 3", and 4" to match your exact needs.
The hex head design allows for easy, high-torque installation using standard wrenches or our matching hex head sockets—quick, secure, and no stripped heads.
Available Lengths (All In Stock):
- 1-1/2" — Great for light attachments and thin stock
- 2" — Versatile standard length for bracket mounting
- 2-1/2" — Added grip for medium connections
- 3" — Stronger penetration for general use
- 4" — Maximum depth for deeper timber engagement
Finish Options:
- Zinc Plated — Bright, corrosion-resistant coating that offers good protection and a clean professional look. Cost-effective and widely used for general interior or protected exterior applications.
- Unfinished Plain Steel — Bare metal with no coating. Develops a natural rust patina for authentic rustic or industrial character; perfect when you want to apply your own finish (paint, oil, clear coat, or rust accelerator).
