High Security
Either 1-way permanent fixing, or rare Hafren patented high security products requiring specialist tooling to remove (only available from Hafren approved distributors).

Security Level 5

Maximum Security

Hafren Security Screwdriver Bits & Tooling

Hafren Security Screwdriver Bits & Tooling

Trying to use a security fastener without the right driver bit is about as effective as trying to use a slotted screwdriver on a Phillips screw, but luckily at Hafren Fasteners we stock a complete range of specialist security fastener screwdriver bits, ‘L’- keys & screwdrivers. We also stock a range of extra-long bits (stocked in 50mm length), for those hard-to-reach places. As well as a complete range of security driver sockets tools for Kinmar® Permanent, Kinmar® Removable & Scroll™.

Screwdrivers transfer force (or torque) to the screw via the screw drive. The shape and size of the screwdriver tip must correspond perfectly to the security screw you are working on or you will find it near impossible to get any engagement. Our security tooling is precision CNC-machined which ensures a smooth fit and perfect engagement, increasing installation speed and reducing cam out… (and therefore reducing damage to the face/drive of the screw and surrounding area of the installation).

Removable security tooling

At Hafren to help our customers select the correct security drive for the application we have developed our security ratings guide, with level-1 for entry level security and level-5 being the maximum security available.

  • 2-Hole: Popular aesthetically pleasing drive for any two-way application (level-1 security).
  • Pin Hex: Hexagon socket screws manufactured with an internal pin (level-1 security).
  • 6-Lobe Pin: Popular security drive for high torque applications (level-1 security).
  • 5-Lobe pin: ‘Give me 5’ (lobes) for improved tamper-resistance ((level-2 security).
  • Tri Head: Widely used vandal deterrent fixing (level-2 security).
  • Power6™: Versatile tamper resistant security drive (level-3 security).
  • Solok™: This security drive ensures that each and every customer has their own unique ‘one-of-a-kind’ drive socket (level-5 security).

Screwdriver bits vary in terms of the complexity of their design and, most importantly, their strengths. Like any product, price often is linked to quality.

Hafren bits are manufactured to be durable; stocked in industrial grade S2 steel, hardened to reduce wear-outs. Precision CNC-machined ensures a smooth fit and protection for both your bit ends as well as your fasteners. Customers are often surprised by the quality of Hafren tooling, as the shock resisting S2 steel offers fantastic longevity in comparison to standard steel bits. Customers regularly find they need far fewer Hafren bits then they usually would require when ordering for a big installation job.
