After doing some cleaning over the weekend, I found these left to us from the prior owner of my home. I've never come across these before, but they look to be lag screws within some sort of hangar or mount. Can't say I've ever seen these during a trip to the hardware store, nor can I find any location in my home where they're actually in use. Frankly, I'm baffled.

Possibly Appliance shipping locks. Probably for a washer or dryer. Keeps the vulnerable internal parts from banging around during shipment (for instance, the washer drum).



Usually are just thrown away after installation.

  • That would play well with the fact that they were left for me by the prior owners along with all sorts of random stuff which turned out to be junk. Thanks for the answer!
