The Abbey Trading R080503 5/16" x 2" Hex Screw is a high-strength fastener designed for demanding mounting tasks where greater holding power is required than what is provided by smaller 1/4" screws.

• Enhanced Diameter (5/16"): The increased 5/16-inch diameter provides significantly higher shear strength and withdrawal resistance. This makes it the preferred choice for mounting larger or heavier hardware—such as substantial T-hinges, large gate latches, or heavy-duty gate stops—that will be subject to greater mechanical stress.

• Hex Head for Torque: The hexagonal head is designed for high-torque applications. Using a socket or wrench allows you to drive the fastener securely into dense materials like pressure-treated lumber or hardwood without the risk of "cam-out" common with Phillips or flathead screws.

• Black Finish: Like other items in the Abbey range, this black finish provides a cohesive, professional aesthetic. It is ideal for installations where the hardware is visible and you want the fasteners to blend in, maintaining the clean lines of a gate or barn door project.

• 18-Pack Configuration: This quantity is perfectly sized for securing larger hardware sets that require multiple points of attachment, ensuring you have enough high-strength fasteners to complete a secure, professional-grade installation in one go.
