Lag screw fasteners are utilized instead of conventional wood screws whenever the surface to be mounted needs to support a substantial weight. The hexagonal head permits lag screws to be fastened with greater torque than is feasible with Phillips head screws, although a pilot hole remains necessary before installation. It is important to remember that lag screws do not accommodate nuts, as they are essentially robust wood screws with threads crafted to penetrate into wood. They are particularly suitable for deck applications since installation can occur without needing access to both sides of the fastener, unlike typical hex bolts which need a nut on the opposing end.
