Metallics TP401SRC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Metallics TP401SRC a tamper-resistant screw, and can it be removed once installed?
It's a one-way tamper-resistant machine screw. A one-way head drives in with a standard flat blade but the ramped slot cams out in reverse, so it will not back out with a common screwdriver. Plan on a one-way screw removal tool or drilling it out if the part ever has to come off. That's the point of using it on cover plates and fixtures in public or high-traffic areas.
2) Will a one-way 6-32 screw fit a standard receptacle or switch plate?
Yes, if the plate uses 6-32 machine screw holes, which is the common electrical device thread. The TP401SRC is a 6-32 round head, so it threads into the same tapped holes as the factory plate screw. Watch the length: at 3/4 inch it is longer than a typical plate screw, so it's best where a mud ring, spacer, or deep device stack-up needs the extra thread engagement. For a flush plate on a shallow device, the extra length may bottom out.
3) What's the difference between a one-way screw and a Torx or spanner security screw?
One-way, like the TP401SRC, is the lowest-cost deterrent and needs no special driver to install, just a flat blade. The tradeoff is that removal is deliberately difficult even for you. Torx pin-in-head and spanner (snake eye) fasteners are driven and removed with a matching security bit, so they are the better choice where maintenance staff need to open the cover regularly. Use one-way where the part is meant to stay put.
4) How many Metallics TP401SRC screws come in a pack?
Sold 100 pieces to the pack, which suits a property manager or MRO buyer securing a run of devices or covers across a building rather than a single opening. One model is offered, TP401SRC.
5) Is the Metallics TP401SRC made in the USA?
Yes, the TP401SRC one-way tamper-resistant machine screw is USA made, which matters on government, institutional, and public-works jobs carrying domestic sourcing requirements.
