DeckLok
Bracket Systems
DeckLok is a bracket system
that secures deck components to the structure of the deck
in a way that is revolutionizing the deck industry.
It is a patented bracket system that strengthens the vulnerable
connections between deck components (ledger connection,
railpost and stair stringers) by adding a bolted attachment
at critical structural locations.
The DeckLok Bracket System creates stronger deck connections
by redirecting the force of the load from "pullout"
to a connection in "shear". The DeckLok
bracket system provides the strength required to meet IRC
2006 Safety Code requirements for both lateral pullout and
rail post stability while using your current deck construction
techniques and designs.
Current
deck fastening techniques rely on resistance to "pullout"
force -- like using a nail to hold a crowbar. The DeckLok
Bracket System creates stronger deck connections by redirecting
the force of the load from "pullout" to a connection
in "shear" at the deck floor joist.
The
DeckLok Bracket is designed to secure the three critical
connections of a wood structure (the
deck) to an adjacent building.
These three critical connections are:
1. The ledger
board attachments to an existing structure
2. The guardrail
post attachments to a structural wood frame
3. The stair
stringer connections to a structural wood frame.
