Independent Genuine Parts Allen Hardware
Independent has been the #1 choice of professional skateboarders since 1978, and their Genuine Parts line holds that standard down to the smallest detail. These Cross Bolts are spec'd and manufactured to Independent's own tolerances, so your board stays tight and your setup stays dialed through every session.
Why Genuine Parts Hardware
Generic hardware strips, backs out, and fails under stress. Independent Genuine Parts Allen Hardware uses quality-grade steel hardware with precise thread tolerances that seat properly against your deck and trucks. The allen (hex key) drive head gives you a clean, positive drive without the cam-out risk of a Phillips head, meaning you can torque each bolt down firmly without the bit slipping and chewing out the head.
The package includes matching locknuts designed to stay put once set. No loose bolts mid-session, no rattling, no guesswork.
Skateboard Mounting Hardware Essentials
Hardware length matters for your setup. Too short and the nut doesn't seat fully; too long and the bolt protrudes into your foot over the nose or tail. Independent Genuine Parts hardware is a straightforward, reliable replacement or fresh-build solution trusted by professionals and everyday skaters worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is allen hardware for skateboarding?
- Allen hardware (also called hex hardware) uses a hex key drive head instead of a Phillips head. The hex drive seats more securely and reduces cam-out when tightening, so you can apply proper torque without the bit slipping. It is a preferred choice among skateboarders who want a reliable, no-strip fastener.
- What does Independent Genuine Parts mean?
- Genuine Parts is Independent Truck Co.'s own line of replacement and maintenance components. Each piece is manufactured to Independent's specifications, ensuring proper fit and quality control for their trucks and hardware. Independent has been the number one choice of professional skateboarders since 1978.
- What is included with Independent Allen hardware?
- The set includes allen-head cross bolts and matching locknuts to mount a skateboard deck to the truck baseplates. Everything needed to complete a full mounting is in the package.
- How do I install skateboard mounting hardware?
- Push each bolt through the deck holes from the top side, thread on a locknut from below (through the truck baseplate holes), and tighten with an allen key and a skate tool or wrench. Snug each bolt evenly rather than fully torquing one at a time, so the deck seats flat. Do not overtighten to the point of compressing the deck wood.
- Is Independent hardware compatible with other truck brands?
- Yes. Skateboard hardware uses a standard thread size across the industry, so Independent Genuine Parts hardware is compatible with all major truck brands. The length you need depends on your deck thickness and riser pad setup, not the truck brand.
