A ceiling hook that pulls out of the joist under load — on a shop hoist, a garage storage rig, or a covered porch install — creates a safety issue and a callback. Toggle bolts in hollow ceiling material and plastic anchors in drywall both have load limits that contractors ignore until something comes down. This 4-15/16-inch ceiling hook accepts a matching lag eye bolt or lag screw for direct wood-to-wood fastening into ceiling joists — the threaded lag engagement holds the load where hollow-wall anchors fail. The 4-15/16-inch reach spans typical ceiling furring strips and drywall to get to the structural framing. Zinc-plated steel holds up to the moisture variations in unheated shops and covered outdoor structures. Standard on shop and garage builds across Knox County NE and Cedar County I Stocked at Crofton Lumber and Akron Lumber.
