Communication issues - Order # 1163
A few weeks ago I ordered and promptly received 2 x 1/2” bolt size hitch hinge sets. Two weeks ago I was going to install them, but realized I had ordered the wrong size and require 3/8” bolt size instead. I have emailed three times and tried phoning numerous times to initiate a return so I can order the correct size. I have had NO RESPONSE to my emails and the phone line always says USER BUSY! Please contact me.
Dock Hinge
This product is a game changer! It greatly simplifies and accelerates the hook up of my floating dock system at the beginning of the season. It makes the dismantling of the docks in the fall. The tedious process of trying to line up the male and female parts of traditional hinges in order to insert the hinge pin is a thing of the past.
Lag/carriage bolts Part II
I may have steered folks the wrong way in my previous comment. Lag bolts are for securing to something as substantial as a crib member or 6X6 etc. ...basically a wood screw screw on steroids! And to hold the DockHinge you will want at least a 4-6" lag bolt. Plain old "bolts" have a hex head and no square neck or round head. But DockHinge may specify Carriage as the square neck will prevent the bolt from turning as it pulls into the aluminum when tightening. Doesn't work well in soft wood, but strong aluminum ...very well. Dave W
Not Carriage bolts?
Fred W. I fully need to but haven't bought these yet and just missed the 20% off sale. :( And missed any deal at the Spring CL show. The hardware might be more accurately described as "Lag Bolts". Hex head and no square shoulder. Not quite a typo but just misidentified. Now just to wait for another sale for my sets....
