Wood Framing Connections
Connector screws, angles and brackets specified around shear transfer, edge distance and repeatable driver access.
Structural fastening authority
From connector screws and concrete anchors to finish hardware programs, this catalog is organized for estimators, builders and distributors who need verified installation paths instead of guesswork.
Application fields
Each application area connects product selection to the load path, substrate and finish requirements that influence field performance.
Connector screws, angles and brackets specified around shear transfer, edge distance and repeatable driver access.
Anchor families arranged by substrate condition, embedment, corrosion exposure and installation inspection checkpoints.
Outdoor brackets and fasteners focused on exposed assemblies, treated lumber compatibility and visible finish control.
Finish hardware packages built around repeatable alignment, SKU clarity and durable movement in high-use interiors.
Selection comparison
| Decision Point | Structural Anchoring Line | General and Cabinet Hardware Line |
|---|---|---|
| Primary field use | Concrete, masonry and wood-to-structure fastening where load transfer must be documented. | Hinges, brackets, slides, pulls and light-duty supports where fit and finish discipline matter. |
| Selection driver | Embedment depth, base material, edge distance, corrosion class and installation torque. | Door or drawer geometry, movement cycle, exposed finish, mounting surface and package consistency. |
| Field verification | Hole cleaning, anchor spacing, washer seating and recorded installation sequence. | Template alignment, fastener grip length, hinge reveal and opening-cycle check. |
| Procurement value | Fewer substitutions during submittals because the catalog narrows anchor families by application. | Cleaner takeoffs because hardware, screws and accessories are packaged around finished assemblies. |
Why specification teams use it
Fasteners, anchors and hardware are presented by use case so buyers can move from project condition to product family quickly.
Every recommendation is written with attention to drilled holes, driver type, washer seating, substrate and inspection moments.
Comparable items are framed around function rather than a loose visual match, reducing incorrect swaps during urgent procurement.
Tables, notes and inquiry paths help estimators, distributors and site supervisors keep a shared record of the selection basis.
Cabinet hardware and exterior fasteners are separated by environment, appearance needs and repeated-use requirements.
When the application is outside a standard schedule, the request path gathers enough context for a useful technical response.
When a connection is hidden behind drywall or concrete, the right fastener choice has already done most of the work. Simpson Strong-Tie keeps that decision visible before installation starts.
