Security screws

Custom Security Screws

Pattern Fasteners manufactures standard, special and custom security screws for industrial, commercial and engineering applications.

Security screws are designed to discourage unauthorised removal, tampering or interference. They are commonly used where equipment, panels, assemblies or components must remain securely fastened while access is restricted.

Our security screws can be manufactured to customer drawings, existing samples or bespoke specifications, with close control over dimensions, threads, drive types, materials and finishes.

Tamper-Resistant and Tamper-Proof Screws

We can manufacture security screws with specialist drive features that require a corresponding tool for installation or removal.

Depending on the application, options may include:

• Pin hex drives

• Pin Torx-style drives

• Two-hole or spanner drives

• One-way drives

• Triangular drives

• Specialist socket profiles

• Bespoke or customer-specific drive designs

• Recessed and non-protruding head styles

The appropriate design will depend on the level of security required, installation method and whether future authorised access is necessary.

Security Screws Made to Specification

We manufacture security screws for applications where standard off-the-shelf fasteners do not meet the required dimensions, performance or security requirements.

Options may include:

• Metric and imperial threads

• Standard and non-standard diameters

• Bespoke lengths

• Custom head forms

• Specialist drive recesses

• Different point styles

• Fully or partially threaded designs

• Drilling and secondary modifications

• Heat treatment and specified hardness

• Small batches and repeat production quantities

Our experienced team can review your drawing or sample and advise on suitable manufacturing options.

A variety of protective and decorative finishes is also available, including:
