Using DeckLok in Ledgerboard Applications DECKLOK is a patented product that provides a bolt-on connection between your house and your sun deck. It stops catastrophic failure of decks by attaching directly to the house's floor joist! Note: The International Residential Code (IRC) now requires the connection to the structure to be designed for both vertical and lateral load. DECKLOK does this! Current building code requires decks to be bolted to the band or rim board of the house. However, the band board was never designed to support another structure such as a deck or sunroom! It may only be end-nailed to the floor joists. Movement (walking, dancing) on the deck causes the naills to pull out, precipitating collapse of the deck. The DECKLOK bracket system is designed to keep this mode of failure from occuring. The brackets are used in tandem, sandwiching the end of the floor joists while bolts secure the deck ledger board (through the band board) to the floor joists. This provides a bolted attachment in a cost effective, easy to install fashion. Benefits: Eliminates deck pullout Inexpensive: replaces second beam, columns and footings Works in both new construction and retrofit Avoids personal injuries (and lawsuits) from deck collapse DeckLok is a bracket system that secures deck components to the structure of the deck that is revolutionizing the deck industry. This patented bracket system strengthens the vulnerable connections between deck components by adding a bolted attachment at the critical structural locations. The DeckLok bracket system provides the strength required to meet the new IRC 2003 Safety Code requirements for both lateral pullout and rail post stability while using your current deck construction techniques and designs.
