Metallics TP227SBC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for a Metallics TP227SBC button head screw?
A pin-in star (pin-in-Torx) security bit. The drive is a star recess with a center post, so a standard Torx bit will not seat on it. You need the tamper-resistant version of the bit with a hole bored down the middle to clear the pin.
2) Is the TP227SBC a tamper-resistant screw for public or shared spaces?
That's what it's built for. The pin-in-star recess blocks a common Torx or driver bit, which is why these go into cover plates, enclosures, and fixtures in corridors, lobbies, transit areas, and schools where you don't want casual removal. Property managers and MRO buyers typically stock one pin-in-star bit size per standardized screw across the building.
3) Will a button head screw sit flush like a flat head?
No. The TP227SBC has a button head, which is a low domed head that sits on top of the surface. It needs a plain through hole, not a countersink. If your part is countersunk for a flat head, this screw will stand proud and won't pull in flush, so you'd want a flat head security screw in 10-32 x 3/8 instead.
4) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP227SBC?
100 pieces per pack. That's a bulk box rather than a few-piece card, so it fits a contractor or MRO crib doing repeat work rather than a one-off repair.
5) What is the Metallics part number for this 10-32 security screw?
Metallics TP227SBC is the manufacturer part number for the 10-32 x 3/8 button head pin-in-star tamper-resistant machine screw, sold 100 per pack. That's the number to quote for a reorder or a cross-reference.
