As engineers and contractors, we know the choice of fastener impacts every part of a project: from performance and install time, to code compliance and long term reliability. At Docs Industries, our I Lags for Metal are carefully designed to deliver exactly what the job demands, whether you’re working with structural steel, light gauge decking, or drywall over metal.
We provide solutions that go beyond single-use or generic eye lag screws. Each product is engineered for the realities of the American jobsite, giving you confidence in your specs and on your installs. Our ICC ES listed options further support seamless project documentation.
In this guide, we’ll show you the engineering benefits, code compliance strengths, major applications, installation ease, and technical details of our I Lags for Metal—so you can choose the right fastener every time.
No substrate is the same, and neither are our I Lags. We offer several types, drill points, and finishes so you get a solution that matches the job rather than making do. That means:
When your project requires suspended systems, wire attachments, or other overhead tasks, this range delivers confidence from planning through punch list.
Using the right I Lag for the specific substrate isn’t just best practice—it’s what keeps installations strong and safe over time. Our ELDX and ELDXM deep drilling screws, for example, are built for structural steel. They feature extra wide drill tips that power through 1/8 inch steel in under five seconds, providing reliability and speed where it counts most.
For lighter gauges, our 150 SP and 150 SPC sharp point screws offer superior holding in 20 and 22 gauge decking—ideal when you need confidence in pullout values. The 150 PP and 150 PPC punch point eye lags shine in 20 gauge and lighter metal, ensuring a clean, solid grip every time.
Engineers and contractors expect longevity, so finishes matter. Our deep drilling ELDX and ELDXM lags feature a blue Ruspert finish to guard against corrosion even in exposed or demanding interior environments. This maintains integrity throughout the building’s life.
Labor efficiency is always top of mind. Our I Lags are designed to work with the Lagmaster pole tool, meaning crews can hang ceiling wire or jack chain quickly and safely without excessive ladder work. For large commercial projects, this speeds up installs and helps reduce labor costs, all with great consistency.
Codes and documentation drive many American projects, which is why we offer ICC ES listed options.
That listing supports easier submittals, smoother plan checks, and reliable code compliance—so projects keep moving with fewer questions from code officials and design teams.
Choose the ELDX and ELDXM for structural steel members up to 1/4 inch thick. Their deep drilling capacity and hardened tips save install time without sacrificing strength or corrosion protection. Ideal for:
For faster penetration and strong holds in 20 or 22 gauge decking, select sharp or punch point eye lags:
Our specialized options simplify finished space overhead supports:
This versatility ensures you never need to compromise your method to suit the fastener—our lags fit your project needs.
Pair select models like 750 SD and 750 SDC with our Lagmaster pole tool to work from below the ceiling grid—reducing ladders and speeding up installs. This approach improves ergonomics, enhances output, and promotes safety across large job areas while delivering uniform results on repetitive overhead tasks.
Our I Lags help you balance engineering specs with on-site realities. We intentionally design every product to offer:
Serving American professional engineers and contractors, our goal is to make every overhead attachment easier and more reliable from specification to final inspection.
Our ELDX and ELDXM models are ideal for structural steel up to 1/4 inch thick, offering rapid deep drilling and corrosion resistance.
750 SD and 750 SDC (direct to metal) and 175 SD and 175 SDC (drywall-through) are ICC ES listed for their respective substrates.
Consider 150 SP and 150 SPC for high holding capacity, 150 PP and 150 PPC for clean engagement, or the 750 SD series for fast, code-compliant installs.
Yes, 175 SD/SDC works for one or two layers, 225 SDC for up to three layers of drywall over metal.
The finish on ELDX and ELDXM models provides extra corrosion protection for longer service life.
It allows workers to attach I Lags from below, improving speed and ergonomics while reducing ladder use.
