AZEK SIDELoc Hidden Fastener System Introduction
The SIDELoc Hidden Fastener System is your key to installing a beautiful, fastener-free surface on capped polymer decking. Designed
specifically for AZEK Square Shouldered Deck Boards, SIDELoc Capped Polymer Deck Fasteners (referred to as SIDELoc
Screws), SIDELoc Guide, and SIDELoc Driver Bits are all a part of the SIDELoc System—each product was engineered to work
exclusively within the system. Using tools, guides, fasteners, or bits from other brands will impair performance and won't
produce the desired results.
You will need the following products to install your capped polymer
deck:
• SIDELoc Screws: available in Fastener Packs of 350, 700, and 1750
• SIDELoc Guide: SIDELoc 5 1/2" or SIDELoc 3 1/2"
• For wide width boards, use the SIDELoc 7 1/4" Extension
• SIDELoc Driver Bit (included with SIDELoc Screws)
– Driver Bits set the depth of drive making it impossible to overdrive
the screw
• Drill—for maximum driving efficiency, set the drill speed to the
highest drill setting
General Information
SIDELoc Guide Schematic
The SIDELoc Guide directs SIDELoc Screws into the side of the deck
board and into the joist. Use SIDELoc Guides on any 3 1/2"–7 1/4"
(89mm–184mm) wide solid capped polymer deck board. No pre-
drilling is required, and the SIDELoc Guides provide automatic 1/8"
(3mm) spacing between deck boards.
Adjusting the Tool
Loosen the Thumb Dial to adjust the Spacer Teeth to fit the width
of the deck boards you are using. Once you have achieved a snug
fit on the board, tighten the Thumb Dial to hold the position.

Using a SIDELoc Guide on 45° Angled Installations:
Position the SIDELoc Guide over the edge of the high side of
the joist so the screw is fastened completely into the joist when
fully driven. For precise positioning, draw a line where the
board intersects with the joist. Position the SIDELoc Guide so
the middle of the Screw Guide rests over the line, then drive the
screw. Repeat this process down the length of the deck board
on both edges.
Installing Deck Boards with SIDELoc Guides
Fastening the Board Next to the Structure:
If the board next to the structure runs parallel to the structure, it may be
necessary to face-fasten the inside edge of that board:
1. Place the board snug to the structure and mark where you'll drive
the SIDELoc Screws into the joist.
2. Move the board away from the structure, position the SIDELoc
Guide over the mark, and drive the SIDELoc screw half an inch
(12.7mm) into the board. Repeat at every mark.
3. Push the board up to the structure with the SIDELoc Screws on the
outside edge of the board and drive the SIDELoc Screws the rest
of the way. Face fasten the inside edge with Cortex or TOPLoc for
AZEK.
Another fastening option is to face fasten both edges of the first board.
Once you've fastened the board next to the structure, installing the rest of the boards is as easy as

DRIVE:
Hold the Tool Handle (which is not intended
to be weight-bearing) and start driving the
SIDELoc Screw on the outside edge of the
board running the drill at full speed. Let the
screw do the work—forcing the screw can
result in mushrooming or splitting.
Once you've started the screw, gently
increase pressure. When the shoulder of
the Driver Bit reaches the Screw Guide,
you are finished driving the screw. Follow
the same steps to fasten the inside edge of

length of the board until you've installed
the entire board. Do not skip any joists.
