Round-Head & Square-Neck Carriage Bolts
Carriage bolts are commonly used in wood-to-metal and metal-to-metal fastening applications. Their distinctive domed head and square neck prevent rotation once inserted into a properly sized hole, providing a secure and tamper-resistant connection. We produce both types of carriage bolts; short and regular neck.

What Are the Benefits of Carriage Bolts?
- The round, smooth head of a carriage bolt prevents it from being easily unscrewed, making it more secure.
- It offers a clean and finished appearance, making it ideal for visible applications.
- The square neck beneath the head helps the bolt stay in place when it is tightening, preventing it from rotating while you turn the nut.
- The large, flat bearing surface distributes pressure evenly, reducing the risk of material damage during installation.
- Carriage bolts are used in a variety of materials, such as wood, metal, and plastic, making them versatile for numerous projects.
- They can be used for furniture assembly, deck construction, or securing metal components together.
- Their design is harder to tamper with compared to standard bolts. This makes them ideal for use in public areas or applications where security is important.
- The square neck design helps prevent the wood from splitting as the bolt is tightened, offering a more reliable connection compared to regular bolts.
- Carriage bolts tend to have a longer lifespan compared to other bolts due to their durability and resistance to wear and corrosion.
