Metallics TP105SBC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for a pin-in hex tamper-resistant screw like the Metallics TP105SBC?
You need a pin-in hex (tamper-resistant Allen) driver, not a standard hex key. The TP105SBC has a hex socket with a solid pin in the center, so a regular hex wrench will not seat. The matching bit is hollow-centered to clear that pin. Budget for the security bit set if your crew does not already carry one.
2) Are the Metallics TP105SBC screws stainless steel?
The TP105SBC is an 18-8 stainless machine screw. 18-8 is the common 300-series austenitic stainless used for fasteners, which gives it corrosion resistance suitable for damp and outdoor-adjacent locations, unlike a plain zinc-plated steel screw.
3) Why use a tamper-resistant button head screw instead of a standard Phillips machine screw?
A pin-in hex button head is for hardware you do not want opened casually: enclosure covers, device plates, fixtures in public corridors, transit and school spaces. The button head sits low and rounded with no exposed edge to grab, and the pin in the socket means a standard Allen key or driver will not turn it. If the cover gets opened routinely for service by anyone with a common driver, use a standard machine screw instead, because every service call here needs the security bit on hand.
4) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP105SBC?
They are packed 100 pieces to a box. That is a working quantity for a panel or fixture job where you are securing covers across multiple locations, rather than a single-device count.
