Metallics TP113SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for the Metallics TP113SFC security screws?
These are hex pin drive, so a standard hex key or Torx bit won't turn them. You need a pin-in-hex (hex pin) security bit sized for a 10-24 flat head screw. That pin in the center of the recess is what keeps a plain Allen key from engaging.
2) Are these Metallics 10-24 screws stainless and okay for outdoor or damp locations?
They are 18-8 stainless steel, which is the common 300 series austenitic grade used for general corrosion resistance. That makes them suitable for damp and exterior electrical enclosures, fixture covers, and wet-location boxes where a plated carbon steel screw would rust. For salt spray or coastal exposure, 316 is the better choice.
3) Will a flat head security screw sit flush on my cover plate?
Yes, if the hole is countersunk. The TP113SFC has a flat head, which is made to seat in an 82 degree countersunk hole and finish flush with the surface. On a plate with a plain straight-drilled hole the head will stand proud, so use a pan or truss head screw there instead.
4) How many screws come in a box of Metallics TP113SFC?
100 pieces per box. For a facility standardizing on tamper-resistant covers, that is enough for roughly 25 four-screw plates, so order by plate count rather than by box.
5) What do property managers and maintenance crews use these hex pin screws for?
Tamper-resistant 10-24 machine screws like the TP113SFC are used where you don't want the public opening something: junction box and pull box covers, device plates in corridors and restrooms, exterior fixture housings, transit and school installations. The hex pin drive means a crew with the right bit can service it while a passerby with an Allen set cannot.
6) Is TP113SFC the right Metallics part number to reorder?
Yes. Metallics TP113SFC is the manufacturer part number for the 10-24 x 1 inch flat head hex pin tamper-resistant 18-8 stainless machine screw, sold 100 to a box.
