What is a "security screw"?
A security screw is a type of screw designed to prevent unauthorized removal or tampering. It has a special, non-standard head shape, such as a pin in the center or a unique pattern, which requires a specific tool to tighten or loosen it. Security screws are commonly used in public places, machinery, or electronic devices where security is a concern. They are often used in areas that need to be protected from vandalism or theft, ensuring that only those with the proper tool can access or remove components.
Examples
The security screw on the vending machine ensures that only authorized personnel can open it.
