Metallics TP228SBC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for a button head star pin tamper-resistant screw?
A pin-in-star (pin-in-Torx) bit is required. The TP228SBC has a six-lobe star recess with a solid post in the center, so a standard Torx bit will not seat on it, and neither will a Phillips or slotted driver. You need the matching pin-in-star bit in the size that fits a #10 screw before you get to the job.
2) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP228SBC?
100 pieces per pack. That makes it a reasonable buy for securing a run of covers, plates, or enclosure doors across a building rather than a single fixture.
3) Will a button head screw sit flush in a countersunk hole?
No. The TP228SBC has a button head, which is a low rounded dome that seats on top of the surface. For a flush finish you need a flat head screw with a countersunk hole. Button heads are the normal choice on unmachined covers and plates where a tamper-resistant fastener is sitting proud of the panel anyway.
4) Is the Metallics TP228SBC a security screw for electrical covers and enclosures?
That is what it is built for. It is a tamper-resistant 10-32 machine screw with a pin-in-star drive, catalogued by Metallics under its electrical fastener line, and the 1/2 inch length suits cover plates, device plates, and enclosure doors where you do not want the public backing the screws out with a common driver.
