Metallics TP400STRC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and thread are the Metallics TP400STRC tamper-resistant screws?
They're 6-32 x 1/2 inch machine screws, so a 32 threads-per-inch machine thread in a #6 diameter, half an inch long under the head. Being a machine thread, they go into a tapped hole or a nut, not raw wood or drywall.
2) Do I need a special bit to install one-way tamper-resistant screws?
Installation only needs a standard flat blade screwdriver. The one-way head has ramped slots that let the blade drive the screw in but cam out when you try to back it out, which is what makes it tamper resistant. Removal is the catch: once it's set, you need a dedicated one-way screw removal tool or you drill it out. Don't spec these anywhere you expect to service the panel or cover regularly.
3) Are these Metallics screws suitable for outdoor or damp locations?
The TP400STRC is steel with a zinc plating, which is a general-purpose indoor and dry-location finish. Zinc plate gives light corrosion resistance but it isn't a wet-location or coastal material. For exterior boxes, wash-down areas, or anything near salt air, go to stainless rather than zinc-plated steel.
4) What is the head style on the Metallics TP400STRC, and will it sit flush?
It's a round head, so it seats on top of the surface rather than sinking into it. No countersink prep is needed, but the head will stand proud of the cover or plate. If you need a flush face, a round head is the wrong choice.
5) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP400STRC?
Each pack holds 100 screws. For an MRO or facilities buyer securing a run of device covers, panels, or enclosures, that's enough to standardize one tamper-resistant fastener across a floor or a building section rather than mixing hardware.
6) What is the manufacturer part number for these Metallics one-way security screws?
Order by Metallics part number TP400STRC. That's the 6-32 x 1/2 inch round head one-way tamper-resistant machine screw in zinc-plated steel.
