From standard hex bolts to specialized structural and anchor bolts, we provide fastening solutions built to last in the most demanding environments.

Types of Bolts 

Hex Bolts

The workhorses of fastening, hex bolts feature a six-sided head that offers easy wrench grip and reliable tightening. Available in a wide range of sizes and materials, they are used in everything from steel building construction to machine assembly and general maintenance. Their versatility and strength make them a staple in nearly every industrial and commercial toolbox.

Carriage Bolts

These bolts are designed with a domed, smooth head and a square neck just under the head to prevent spinning once installed. Carriage bolts are perfect for wood-to-metal or metal-to-metal connections where a clean, tamper-resistant appearance is desired. They are commonly found in fencing, furniture, decking, and other applications where a flush finish is needed.

Structural Bolts

Heavy-duty structural bolts are built to handle the load demands of buildings, bridges, and steel-to-steel connections. They feature large hex heads and are paired with hardened washers and nuts for maximum load distribution. These bolts meet stringent specifications for strength and safety, making them essential in critical infrastructure work.

Tap Bolts

Tap bolts are fully threaded hex head bolts designed for threading into tapped holes or use with a matching nut. Their complete threading offers flexibility for fastening materials of varying thicknesses. These bolts are widely used in automotive, manufacturing, and machine assembly where strong clamping force is needed.

Lag Screws

Also referred to as lag bolts, these are heavy-duty wood fasteners with hex heads and coarse threading. Lag screws provide deep anchoring into wood, making them perfect for structural wood framing, decking, and heavy lumber projects. They’re also used in lag shields or expansion anchors for masonry applications.

Flange Screws

Flange screws feature an integrated washer-like flange beneath the head that distributes load across a broader surface. This reduces the chance of pull-through and eliminates the need for a separate washer. These bolts are often used in automotive and mechanical applications where vibration resistance and uniform pressure distribution are key.

Plow Bolts

Plow bolts are countersunk bolts with square necks that provide a flush surface after installation. Originally used in snow plows and earthmoving equipment, they are also ideal for applications requiring wear resistance and a smooth finished surface. The square neck prevents rotation during tightening for added reliability.

Step Bolts

Step bolts have wide, round heads and low-profile threading, often used in utility poles and steel frameworks where climbing or foot traffic occurs. Their flat tops and evenly spaced heads provide grip while maintaining structural integrity in steel tower and transmission line construction.

Elevator Bolts

Known for their large, flat heads and short shanks, elevator bolts are used to fasten conveyor belts and elevator buckets. Their broad head prevents pull-through and helps distribute the load evenly across soft or thin materials. They are common in agriculture, manufacturing, and bulk material handling systems.

Timber Bolts

Timber bolts, also called dome-head bolts, are designed for use in large wooden structures. The oversized domed head and square shoulder beneath it resist spinning and ensure secure fastening. Common in landscaping, timber framing, and boardwalk construction, they offer strength and aesthetics in one.

Square Head Bolts

These bolts feature a square-shaped head that allows for a wrench or pliers to grip tightly in confined spaces. They offer an old-school industrial look and are often used in restoration projects, heavy equipment, and woodworking where high torque is needed.

Anchor Bolts

Anchor bolts are designed to secure structural and mechanical elements to concrete foundations. They come in L-shaped, J-shaped, and straight configurations and are often embedded before the concrete is poured. Common in construction, manufacturing, and utility infrastructure, they provide permanent anchoring for columns, beams, and machinery.

Eye Bolts

Eye bolts have a looped head used to attach wire, cable, or rope. They are commonly found in lifting, rigging, tie-down, and marine applications. Depending on the eye style, they may be designed for vertical lifts, angled loads, or anchoring to structural frames.

Toggle Bolts

Toggle bolts are hollow-wall anchors designed for drywall, plaster, or panel installation. They use spring-loaded wings that open inside the wall cavity to provide a secure hold for medium-duty loads. Ideal for hanging shelving, fixtures, or brackets when a stud is not available.

Hanger Bolts

Hanger bolts feature machine threads on one end and wood threads on the other. They are used to mount hardware into wood surfaces while still allowing for the use of a nut or tapped insert. Applications include furniture, piping systems, and installing suspended components into beams or joists.

Bolts - Industry Applications

Bolts from South Coast Fasteners are engineered to serve nearly every major industry where strength, precision, and reliability are non-negotiable. In construction and infrastructure, structural, anchor, and timber bolts secure frameworks, beams, and heavy assemblies that form the backbone of buildings, bridges, and utility installations. Manufacturing and machinery operations depend on hex, flange, and tap bolts for assembling and maintaining equipment that runs under constant load and vibration. Automotive and transportation sectors rely on plow, carriage, and lag bolts for secure joints in vehicles, trailers, and mechanical systems exposed to stress and movement.

In agriculture, energy, and marine environments, step bolts, eye bolts, and elevator bolts are used to mount, lift, and reinforce systems that must endure the elements and high demand. From fastening conveyor belts in grain handling to securing utility poles and rigging hardware, South Coast Fasteners supplies bolts that hold fast under any condition. Whether above ground, below grade, or in motion, our bolts are trusted across industries to keep operations safe, stable, and built to last.
