Titan Lok Timber Truss Structural Screws

Titan Lok Timber Truss Structural Screws are high-performance structural wood screws designed for timber-to-timber fastening, timber construction, truss assemblies, multi-ply timber connections, and light sheet-to-timber fixing.

With a 6.6 mm diameter, specially engineered Type 17 cutting grooves, asymmetric thread, ribs, and a special anti-loosen drive, Titan Lok screws are designed to improve installation efficiency, reduce timber cracking, increase pull-out resistance, and achieve a clean, secure countersunk finish.

The screw can be manufactured in carbon steel, alloy steel, or stainless steel, with customized dimensions and specifications available for OEM and professional construction applications.

What Are Titan Lok Timber Truss Structural Screws?

Titan Lok is a structural wood construction screw developed for demanding timber fastening applications.

Unlike conventional wood screws, the Titan Lok design combines several functional features in the screw point, thread, head, and drive to address common problems in timber installation.

Structural Wood Screw for Timber-to-Timber Fastening

Titan Lok is primarily designed for timber-to-timber fastening.

The asymmetric thread is engineered to increase pull-out resistance and help draw timber components tightly together.

This makes the screw suitable for applications where the connection needs to:

• Hold multiple timber components together
• Reduce gaps between timber members
• Provide strong pull-out resistance
• Maintain a clean finished surface
• Improve installation productivity

The screw can also be used in multi-ply timber assemblies, where the thread geometry helps pull the timber layers together during installation.

Titan Lok Screw Design and Functional Features

Type 17 Cutting Point

The Type 17 point incorporates cutting grooves designed to collect and remove sawdust during installation.

This design helps the screw penetrate timber efficiently while reducing the tendency for the wood to crack.

Functional Benefits

• Cutting grooves → Collect and remove sawdust
• Improve penetration
• Reduce timber cracking
• Improve installation consistency

The Type 17 point is particularly useful for applications where screw installation is performed directly into timber without pre-drilling.

Asymmetric Thread for Higher Pull-Out Resistance

The asymmetric thread uses a specially designed thread angle to increase pull-out resistance in timber applications.

During installation, the thread helps the screw securely engage the timber and can also help pull multiple timber components tightly together.

Asymmetric Thread Benefits

• Higher pull-out resistance
• Stronger timber engagement
• Improved connection between timber members
• Helps close gaps in multi-ply assemblies
• Suitable for structural timber applications

This thread design is one of the key differences between Titan Lok structural screws and conventional wood screws.

Ribs for Clean and Flush Countersinking

Titan Lok screws incorporate ribs beneath the head to help the screw seat firmly and cleanly into the timber.

The ribs help create a controlled countersinking action during installation.

Benefits

• Clean countersinking
• Secure seating
• Reduced surface protrusion
• Flat finished surface
• Improved appearance

This feature is particularly valuable for timber construction where the screw head needs to sit cleanly below or flush with the timber surface.

Special Anti-Loosen Drive for Safer Installation

Titan Lok uses a special drive system designed to match the screw precisely.

The drive is designed to improve driver engagement and installation productivity.

One important application is high-altitude timber construction, where preventing the screw from falling from the driver can improve work efficiency and reduce potential worksite hazards.

Special Drive Benefits

• Secure driver engagement
• Improved installation productivity
• Reduced screw falling
• Easier overhead installation
• Suitable for high-altitude applications

This makes the drive system particularly relevant to timber truss and construction applications where screws are installed overhead.

No Pre-Drilling Required

Titan Lok structural wood screws are designed for installation without pre-drilling in suitable timber applications.

The Type 17 cutting point helps initiate penetration and remove sawdust during installation.

This can reduce the number of installation steps compared with fastening systems that require a separate pilot-hole operation.

No separate pre-drilling operation is required when the screw and timber application are appropriately matched.

Titan Lok for Timber Truss Construction

Titan Lok is designed for timber truss and structural timber applications.

The combination of high pull-out resistance, timber crack reduction, clean countersinking, and secure drive engagement makes the screw suitable for construction environments where installation efficiency and connection performance are important.

Typical Applications

• Timber trusses
• Timber framing
• Structural timber connections
• Multi-ply timber assemblies
• Timber-to-timber fastening
• Light sheet-to-timber fixing
• Wood construction
• High-altitude timber installation

Titan Lok for Multi-Ply Timber Assemblies

Multi-ply timber assemblies require the individual timber layers to be pulled tightly together.

The Titan Lok asymmetric thread is designed to help clinch timber plates together and close gaps between multiple timber layers.

This can improve the overall contact between timber components during installation.

Multi-Ply Connection Advantages

• Helps close gaps
• Pulls timber layers together
• Increases connection stability
• Provides high pull-out resistance
• Creates a clean finished surface

Titan Lok for Light Sheet-to-Timber Fixing

In addition to timber-to-timber fastening, Titan Lok can be used for light sheet-to-timber fixing.

This makes the screw suitable for applications where a thin sheet material needs to be attached to a timber substrate.

The same Type 17 point and thread design can help simplify installation.

Material Options for Titan Lok Structural Screws

Titan Lok screws can be manufactured using different material families according to application requirements.

Available material options include:

• Carbon Steel: 1022, 1018
• Alloy Steel: 10B21, 10B33
• Stainless Steel: 304, 316, 410

The appropriate material should be selected according to the required mechanical performance, corrosion environment, application, and customer specification.

Titan Lok vs. Standard Chipboard Screws

Although Titan Lok is included within SANN MUO's Wood / Chipboard Screw product category, it is important to distinguish it from a conventional chipboard screw.

Which Screw Should You Choose?

Choose Titan Lok Structural Screws when the application requires a structural timber connection, higher pull-out resistance, timber truss fastening, multi-ply timber assembly, or improved installation efficiency.

Choose a standard chipboard screw when the primary requirement is general-purpose wood or particle-board assembly rather than structural timber fastening.
