What Are Security Fasteners?

A closer look into what Security Fasteners are and how they can be used to stamp out the impact of theft!

When it comes to protecting valuable assets, ensuring security is paramount. In various industries, security fasteners play a crucial role in safeguarding infrastructure.

Security fasteners are specialised screws, bolts, and nuts designed to deter unauthorised access, tampering, theft, and vandalism. Unlike standard fasteners, security fasteners feature unique designs that require specialised tools or techniques for installation and removal. These fasteners are used in diverse applicationssuch as public infrastructure, electronics, transportation, government facilities, retail, and more. By employing security fasteners, businesses can significantly enhance physical security and protect their valuable assets from potential threats.

What is a Security Fastener (part 2)
  1. Tamper-Resistant Screws: These screws feature unconventional drive heads such as one-way, two-way, or pin-in-hex, making them difficult to remove without the proper tools.
  2. Security Bolts: These bolts are designed with specialised heads, such as breakaway heads or shear nuts, which are virtually impossible to remove once they are tightened.
  3. Security Nuts: Similar to security bolts, security nuts are installed using specialised tools and cannot be removed without these tools, ensuring enhanced protection against unauthorised access.
  4. One-Way Security Fasteners: These fasteners are easy to install but nearly impossible to remove without causing significant damage, providing an extra layer of deterrence against tampering.
