FAQ

Find answers to common questions about StealthLock Universal Deck Clips.

Is there a compatible hidden fastener system?

Yes. Deckorators grooved-edge deck boards are fully compatible with StealthLock™ Universal Deck Clips, which provide a fastener-free deck surface with a clean, professional finish. These clips install between the grooves of each board, eliminating the need for pre-drilling and automatically spacing boards for consistent alignment. The system simplifies installation and enhances the overall appearance of your deck.

For areas where top-down fastening is necessary—such as stairs, perimeter boards, or deck board replacements—Pro Fastening Systems offer the quickest and easiest way to achieve a hidden fastener appearance.
Does Deckorators Decking require gapping between boards?

Yes, all Deckorators Decking requires gapping between boards to allow for thermal expansion and contraction and water runoff, but specific gapping requirements vary by product line.

Our patented Surestone technology minimizes thermal expansion and contraction. This means end gapping is less critical, but consistent spacing is still recommended. We recommend 1/16” to 1/8” depending on outdoor temperature at time of installation.
What type of fasteners and nails are recommended with Deckorators Decking?

Deckorators offers several fastening solutions depending on your deck design and installation needs. For grooved-edge boards, StealthLock Universal Deck Clips provide a clean, fastener-free surface. These clips install between the board grooves, eliminating the need for pre-drilling and automatically spacing boards for a consistent, polished finish.

If you're using Fastendry, broad-head 2" stainless steel nails are recommended for secure attachment. For top-down fastening—such as on stairs, borders, or replacement boards—Pro Fastening Systems provide a quick and effective way to conceal screw heads while maintaining a sleek appearance.
Can I use hidden fastener systems with Excursion decking?

Yes. Excursion decking features grooved-edge boards specifically designed to work with Deckorators StealthLock™ Universal Deck Clips. These clips fit securely between the grooves of each board, eliminating the need for pre-drilling and automatically spacing boards for a clean, consistent finish. The system streamlines installation while delivering a sleek, professional look.

If you prefer traditional top-down fastening but still want to conceal screw heads, our Pro Fastening Systems offer a quick and effective solution for stairs, perimeter boards, or board replacements.
