Metallics TP100SFCSI – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length are the Metallics TP100SFCSI tamper-resistant screws?
The Metallics TP100SFCSI is a 6-32 x 1/2 inch machine screw. The 6-32 machine screw thread is the standard thread for electrical device and wall plate mounting hardware, so it threads into tapped device yokes and plate holes rather than biting into wood or drywall.
2) Do I need a special bit to install the TP100SFCSI screws?
Yes. These are hex pin tamper-resistant screws, meaning the recess is a hex socket with a center pin, so a standard hex key or Allen bit will not seat. You need a matching pin-in-hex (spanner-style hex pin) driver bit or key sized for a 6-32 head. That is the point of the screw: no common screwdriver in a tenant's drawer will remove the plate.
3) Will ivory hex pin screws match my ivory wall plates?
The TP100SFCSI head is finished ivory, which is intended to blend with ivory-colored device plates and switches. If your plates are white or light almond, the ivory head will read slightly off against them, so match the screw color to the plate color you actually have on the wall.
4) Are these flat head screws so they sit flush on a wall plate?
Flat head is what the FH designation means, so the head seats down into a countersunk plate hole and finishes close to flush. If your plates have the raised or oval countersink typical of standard device plates, a flat head is the correct profile; a pan or round head would stand proud of the plate face.
5) Can I use these tamper-resistant screws in public restrooms, schools, or common areas where plates keep getting removed?
That is exactly the application. The hex pin recess resists removal with a flat, Phillips, or plain hex driver, so switch and receptacle plates in corridors, restrooms, classrooms, and transit or detention spaces stay put. Order the matching pin-in-hex driver at the same time, because your crew cannot install these with standard bits.
6) How many screws come in a box of Metallics TP100SFCSI?
One hundred pieces per box. For a property manager or integrator securing plates across a building, that covers roughly 50 two-screw plates or 100 single-screw devices, which makes it a practical standardization quantity rather than a per-door purchase.
7) What is the Metallics part number for the ivory 6-32 x 1/2 hex pin tamper-resistant machine screw?
Metallics TP100SFCSI. The MPN and the model designation are the same, so order it as TP100SFCSI and you get the ivory flat head, hex pin, 6-32 x 1/2 inch machine screw in the 100-piece box.
