SECURITY SCREWS FROM KAYFAST

In modern society we increasingly feel the need to implement additional security measures around the home or the workplace, or anywhere in public life. This can be to prevent theft, but it could also be to prevent an item being tampered with or vandalised, or sometimes we may simply want to ensure something remains secured for health and safety reasons. Security screws are the answer to this issue and come as a practical way to ensure something remains fixed and can only be removed using specialist tooling. When considering using security screws, the question you need to ask yourself is: will I ever need to remove this item? If the answer is ‘no’ then security screws are what you need, but this might also be the case if you wish to secure an item that must remain in place, at least for a period of time. What are security screws? Kayfast stock a great range of security screws for various different purposes. Essentially these are one-way screws, which means they will only turn one way when being fastened, and can’t turn the other way to be unfastened. Hence, they can only be removed using the kind of tooling most people won’t have. Security screws have a high torque rating, which means they can undertake great strain and can resist this force in the opposite direction also. So this means that fixing something with a security screw means it can’t be tampered with, can’t be stolen and should stay in place without the screw’s fix strength weakening over time. Where would you use security screws? Typical applications for security screws are for long term fixings that need to remain secure and may need to withstand external forces, such as the weather. These can include guttering, licence plates, equipment in children’s playgrounds, notifications in schools or on public lampposts, plaques and grills on security doors. All these items need to remain in place and most likely won’t need to be changed and so can be left on a long term basis. You may also wish to use security screws on items that are valuable and aren’t necessarily open to theft, but need to be secured to prevent any possibility of damage. For this reason, security screws are popular when installing solar panels on domestic housing or in workplaces. These are valuable items and you certainly don’t want them being stolen or the screw working loose and the panels falling from the roof. So security screws are the ideal solution. What kind of security screws are there? At Kayfast we stock the full range of standard security screws, with different head types and screw lengths for different applications and tools.
