SkyDeck USA Ipe Locks – Hidden Fasteners for Ipe Wood Deck Tiles (Box of 50)

Secure. Discreet. Wind-Resistant. Waterproof.

When you invest in a rooftop deck or elevated outdoor living space, every detail matters—from the structural integrity beneath your feet to the visual finish on the surface. SkyDeck USA Ipe Locks are specifically engineered to provide unmatched security and long-term performance for Ipe wood deck tiles installed on the SkyJack pedestal system. These fasteners are the quiet workhorses of rooftop decking, delivering protection against wind uplift and tile shifting while preserving the natural beauty of Ipe.

Unlike traditional fastening methods that can detract from the seamless, high-end look of Ipe wood, SkyDeck USA Ipe Locks fit directly into the kerf cuts at each tile corner. This low-profile design means the locks do their job invisibly, ensuring that your deck looks polished and professional while being prepared to handle the toughest conditions—whether that’s heavy winds, driving rain, or the everyday wear of high foot traffic.

Key Benefits

Reliable Tile Stability

One of the most common challenges in pedestal-supported decking is tile movement over time. Without a locking mechanism, tiles may drift slightly out of place, particularly along edges or perimeter areas where they are more exposed. Ipe Locks completely eliminate this problem by anchoring each tile firmly in position.

Wind Uplift Protection

High-rise terraces and rooftop decks are often exposed to strong winds, and unsecured tiles can become both a safety hazard and a costly repair issue. Ipe Locks add a critical layer of protection by holding tiles down securely to the pedestal heads, keeping them anchored even in areas prone to gusty conditions.

Clean Finish

Because the locks slide invisibly into the kerf cuts, there’s no need for unsightly clips or brackets on the surface. This maintains the luxurious, uninterrupted look of your Ipe wood tiles.

Easy to Install

Ipe Locks are engineered for efficiency. Simply insert them into the tile’s corner kerfs and fasten into the pedestal head with a screw. They are adjustable and removable, allowing for straightforward deck layout adjustments during installation.

Durable Construction

Built from marine-grade stainless steel, these locks are designed to endure. They resist rust, corrosion, and weather-related damage, making them suitable for rooftop decks in coastal, humid, or freeze-thaw climates.

Easily Removed

Roof decks require occasional maintenance, whether for cleaning drains, servicing HVAC systems, or checking roof membranes. Ipe Locks can be quickly loosened and removed, providing easy access without damaging tiles.

Recommended Use

SkyDeck USA Ipe Locks are the perfect accessory for rooftop decks, terraces, patios, and any elevated project using SkyDeck USA Ipe wood pavers with SkyJack adjustable pedestals. They combine invisible fastening with long-term performance, making them ideal for both residential and commercial applications where safety, durability, and aesthetics all matter.

Installation Tip

For best results, secure Ipe Locks after leveling and aligning a full row of pavers. Tighten each lock enough to hold the tiles firmly in place, but leave enough flexibility to slide in the next row before completing final tightening. Because the locks sit between tile corners, you’ll need a long drill bit to access the screw position between tiles for final adjustments.

How to Remove an Ipe Tile Secured with an Ipe Lock

To remove a tile, begin by loosening the screw holding the Ipe Lock with either a screwdriver or a drill. Next, slide the washer fully into the kerf cut of the adjacent paver. This creates clearance that allows the tile to be lifted and removed without obstruction. The process is fast and non-destructive, ensuring your deck remains serviceable for years to come.

SkyDeck USA Ipe Locks deliver more than just fastening—they provide peace of mind, design integrity, and the confidence that your deck is prepared for whatever nature throws at it.
