Carriage bolts are often used in wood applications, such as securing wood to wood or wood to metal. The square neck helps to keep the bolt in place as the nut is tightened, making it a convenient choice for situations where access to both ends of the bolt is limited. They are commonly used in furniture assembly, building construction, and other applications where a smooth, finished appearance is desired.
The head of a carriage bolt is typically rounded or domed, and
it provides a smooth and finished appearance. This design allows
for a visually appealing finish when used in exposed areas.
The square neck is a distinctive feature of a carriage bolt.
It's a square-shaped section under the head that prevents
the bolt from rotating when it's inserted into a hole.
