What are Security Screws?

Security screws, also known as tamper-resistant screws, are specialized fasteners designed to prevent unauthorized removal or tampering. They feature unique drive types (e.g., pin-in-hex, spanner, or torx with a pin) that require matching security bits or drivers, making them difficult to remove with standard tools.

Materials of Security Screws

1. Stainless Steel (e.g., 304, 316) – Corrosion-resistant, ideal for outdoor or harsh environments.

2. Carbon Steel – High strength, often coated for corrosion protection.

3. Alloy Steel – Heat-treated for extra durability (e.g., Grade 8.8, 10.9).

4. Brass – Decorative and corrosion-resistant, used in electrical applications.

5. Aluminum – Lightweight and rust-proof, suitable for aerospace or electronics.

Surface Treatments

• Zinc Plating – Basic corrosion resistance (e.g., white/zinc yellow).

• Black Oxide – Anti-rust and subtle appearance.

• Nickel Plating – Enhanced durability and sleek finish.

• Passivation (for stainless steel) – Improves corrosion resistance.

• Dacromet – High corrosion resistance for automotive/industrial use.

Specifications

• Drive Types: Pin-in-hex, Torx (6-lobe), Spanner (2-hole), Tri-wing, etc.

• Thread Types: Metric (M3-M12), UNC/UNF (e.g., #4-40 to ½”).

• Head Styles: Pan, flat, button, or countersunk.

• Standards: DIN, ISO, ANSI, or custom designs.

Applications

• Public Infrastructure: Traffic signs, park benches.

• Electronics: Smartphones, gaming consoles, ATMs.

• Automotive: License plates, interior panels.

• Medical Devices: Equipment panels to ensure safety compliance.

• Aerospace: Secure panels and components.

Excellent Case: Securing Public EV Charging Stations

Challenge: Vandalism and unauthorized access to electric vehicle (EV) charging cables/panels were causing costly repairs.

Solution: A manufacturer installed stainless steel pin-in-hex security screws (M6 size, zinc-nickel coated) on all access panels and cable locks.

Result:

• Tampering attempts dropped by 90% due to the need for specialized tools.

• Reduced maintenance costs and improved user trust.

• Corrosion-resistant coating ensured longevity in outdoor conditions.
