Prepare the posts for fastening a handrail by counterboring and drilling shank holes for ____ bolts through the posts.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lag bolts are the best choice for fastening a handrail by counterboring and drilling shank holes through the posts. Stove bolts have a round head and are not suitable for this type of installation. Carriage bolts have a square-shaped head and are typically used for holding wooden parts together, but they may not be strong enough for a handrail. Knock-off bolts are not a standard type of bolt and are not suitable for this type of installation.
