Metallics TP102SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for the Metallics TP102SFC security screw?
It takes a pin-in hex (tamper resistant hex) bit, not a standard Allen key. The head has a center pin that blocks a solid hex driver, so you need a security hex bit of the matching size to drive or remove it. Order the bit with the screws if your techs don't already carry a tamper bit set.
2) Can I use the TP102SFC to replace standard 6-32 device screws in public restrooms and common areas?
That's the usual reason to buy them. Because the thread is 6-32, the same size as standard device and plate screws, they thread into the same tapped mounting holes in a device yoke or box ear. The difference is the pin-in hex head, so a plate can't be pulled with a screwdriver. Check screw length though: at 1 inch these are longer than the short screws that ship with most devices, so they suit deeper stacks such as plates over extension rings or thick mounting brackets.
3) Are these Metallics tamper proof screws stainless steel, and can they be used outdoors?
They're 18-8 stainless, which is the austenitic 300 series grade used for general corrosion resistance. That makes them suitable for damp or exterior-rated enclosures and coastal-adjacent work where a plated steel screw would rust and seize. 18-8 is non-magnetic as supplied and softer than hardened steel, so don't overtorque them in a tapped hole.
4) Will the Metallics TP102SFC sit flush on a cover plate?
Yes, it's a flat head, so it's made to seat in a countersunk hole and finish flush with the surface. If your plate or enclosure lid has a straight-walled clearance hole rather than a countersink, the head will stand proud and you'd want a pan or truss head screw instead.
5) How many screws come in a box of Metallics TP102SFC?
100 pieces per box. For a facility standardizing on tamper resistant hardware across panels, junction boxes, or public-area device plates, that covers roughly 50 two-screw plates, so figure your box count off device count rather than door or room count.
6) What is the Metallics part number for this 6-32 tamper resistant flat head screw?
Metallics catalogs it as TP102SFC. That single model covers the 6-32 x 1 inch flat head pin-in-hex machine screw in 18-8 stainless, sold 100 to a box.
