Wood jambs for gates may be fastened to masonry walls with:

• A. Anchor bolts
• B. Lag bolts and bolt shields
• C. Bind ream
• D. Both anchor bolts and lag bolts with bolt shields

Answer: (D)

Securing a wood gate jamb to masonry requires hardware that can reliably grip masonry and transfer the gate’s loads into the wall. Anchor bolts provide a solid through-bolt method into the masonry, giving a strong anchor point for the jamb. Lag bolts (lag screws) can also be used into masonry when paired with appropriate inserts, and the bolt shields (metal sleeves) protect the surrounding masonry, prevent the hole from crumbling, and help distribute the load so the bolt doesn’t pull out or chip the masonry. Using both kinds covers common installation scenarios: you can set the jamb with anchor bolts for a straightforward, durable connection, or retrofit with lag bolts and bolt shields where through-bolting isn’t feasible. The option that doesn’t fit is any nonstandard term like “bind ream,” which isn’t a recognized fastener for masonry.
