Security Torx Pan Head Screws.

What are Security Torx Pan Head Screws?

Security Torx pan head screws are tamper-resistant security screws featuring a pan head profile and a security Torx drive with a central security pin.

Designed to deter unauthorised removal, they are commonly used in safety-critical and public-facing applications such as electronics enclosures, control panels and access covers. Their rounded pan head provides a clean, low-profile finish ideal for snag-free installations.

How Security Torx Pan Head Screws Work

These screws utilise a security Torx drive, also known as a tamper-proof Torx, which includes a pin in the centre of the six-lobe recess. This requires a matching security Torx driver, making removal with standard tools difficult and enhancing protection against tampering. The pan head design offers wide surface contact, distributing load evenly and minimising stress to the workpiece.

Materials Security Torx Pan Head Screws Are Made From

Accu’s range of security Torx pan head screws are manufactured from steel (Grade 4.8), a durable and cost-efficient material suitable for a wide range of non-structural applications. The additional bright zinc plating adds corrosion resistance and a professional finish, commonly used in indoor or dry environments.
