Wrong nails used in hangers

[GrantMcscott]

Hi

old joiner (if you can call him that). Has use normal nail in joist hanger and they are starting to com loose and floor making a noise.  Any issue in taking them out and replacing them with twisted 30 x 3.75.

 

Will I get the same strength as a whole is already there?

If he’s just used a clout nail Then the twist nail will be a thicker gauge Whilst not ideal 

They should hold 

 

Ps 

Shocking mistake for a joiner to make

Would putting a bit of glue in the hole help?

 

This is the easiest mistake to fix he has made on my house build pure cowboy.  Cut all the rafter doublers in the roof and lots more issues.

Nail puller and replace every other one 

 

glue won’t help, might need noggins to tighten everything up in line with the trimmers

No Glue won’t help 

Replace them all with twist nails
