I am moving my DC from the floor to hanging on the wall. When I was installing the brackets 2 of the lag bolts just snapped in two, right where the threads start. The last 2, of course. They are 1/4-4" bolts and I drilled a pilot hole just about the size of the shaft (not counting the threads). So, now I have to move the whole operation either higher or lower, what a pain.
I have never seen a lag bolt snap like that? I feel like maybe I shouldn't trust these bolts with a 200lb chunk of metal over my head. Anyone have any ideas why this happened and maybe what kind of bolts I need to use?
Thanks,
